This project will examine the educational outcomes of students receiving educational vouchers from one of three private foundations: the Oklahoma Scholarship Program, Children's Educational Opportunity of Michigan, and Students First from Birmingham, Alabama. These scholarship programs have awarded scholarships to lowincome families in their respective states. The scholarships have been allocated by lottery. The random nature of scholarship assignment in these organizations will be utilized to eliminate school selection bias. Lottery losers will serve as a control group for voucher winners.The outcome data will be gathered through surveys and school records. The student outcomes of interest include test scores, school attendance, grade retention, and disciplinary actions. Additional analysis will focus on parental involvement in education and educational outcomes of other children.

该项目将研究从以下三个私人基金会之一获得教育券的学生的教育成果：俄克拉荷马州奖学金计划、密歇根州儿童教育机会和亚拉巴马伯明翰的学生第一。这些奖学金方案向各自州的低收入家庭提供奖学金。奖学金是通过抽签分配的。这些机构奖学金分配的随机性将被用来消除学校选择偏见。彩票中奖者将作为代金券中奖者的对照组。结果数据将通过调查和学校记录收集。感兴趣的学生结果包括考试成绩，学校出勤率，年级保持和纪律处分。其他分析将侧重于父母参与教育和其他儿童的教育成果。
