Resumo(s)
This paper evaluates the impact of two financial aid policies in Portuguese higher
education: the DGES needs-based scholarship and the +Superior Program. Using quasi-experimental
methods—a Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design and a staggered Difference-in-Differences
approach—the analysis finds that the DGES grant reduces dropout rates by 1.3 to 1.7 percent age points, improves ECTS completion by 1.9 percentage points and increases the likelihood
of graduation by approximately 3 percentage points. In contrast, while the +Superior Program
increases enrollment, it has limited impact on student mobility and may negatively influence
the academic and socioeconomic composition of the student body.
