How Has the Louisiana Scholarship Program Affected Students after Two Years?

While a grow­ing num­ber of stud­ies have eval­u­at­ed K‑12 school vouch­er pro­grams along aca­d­e­m­ic dimen­sions, few have focused on the devel­op­ment of non-cog­ni­tive skills and civic val­ues. This study aims to address that gap by pro­vid­ing the first analy­sis of dif­fer­ences in self-report­ed mea­sures of grit, locus of con­trol, self-esteem, and polit­i­cal tol­er­ance asso­ci­at­ed with the LSP. Down­load How Has the Louisiana Schol­ar­ship Pro­gram Affect­ed Students?, a pol­i­cy brief by Jonathan N. Mills, Anna J. Egalite, and Patrick J. Wolf that sum­ma­rizes the four Tech­ni­cal Reports on the affects of the Louisiana Schol­ar­ship Program.
