Abstract: Kalamazoo Promise is one of the most well-known promise zone communities within the nation. Funded by anonymous donors in 2005, Kalamazoo Promise guarantees to pay the tuition and fees for graduates of the Kalamazoo Public Schools at any public college or university in Michigan. Using state administrative data of students attending K-12 schools, we estimate the impact of the place-based scholarship on college enrollment and degree attainment focusing on several grades to define scholarship eligibility.
