Scarlet & Gray Advantage Evaluation
Timeline
2022 - 2026
Summary
The Scarlet & Gray Advantage program empowers eligible Ohio State students to earn their bachelor’s degree debt-free, freeing them to pursue a vibrant future without the burden of student loans. The pilot program began in autumn 2022 on both the Columbus and regional campuses, offering participating students scholarships, work opportunities, and learning experiences.
SSRL led the first-year pilot evaluation in partnership with researchers from the Department of Educational Studies, Drs. Kristen J. Mills and Stephen Quaye, and from the Center for the Study of Student Life, Dr. Chrisse Edmunds, and is continuing to follow the outcomes of each pilot student cohort through at least 2026.
