Education tax credits provide federal financial aid to a wide expanse of American taxpayers; however, little research or analysis has been done on these costly programs. There has been little evidence of its link to college enrollment growth. This descriptive paper outlines the establishment of education tax credits, their original intent, and the lack of evidence of effectual federal policy over the past two decades. Thus, the purpose of this article is to assess how the federal government has reached an $18.9 billion annual expenditure for education tax credits with little to show in returns on investment. Further, this paper will provide recommendations needed to increase education tax policy efficacy. Since tax rewards reach more recipients than other forms of federal aid programs, they have the potential to increase college enrollment and educational attainment while providing liquidity-constrained individuals with greater incentive to enroll, persist, and graduate. If evaluated and remediated, education tax credits could positively affect the diversity of college populations, providing additional opportunities for desiring, potential students.

This study provides new insight into enrollment disparities by examining how the financial support adolescents expect to receive from parents as they transition to young adulthood differs by parent and family characteristics and whether they attend college. I do this by estimating expectations of cash and in-kind co-residency support in the year after high school completion using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The results indicate that children whose parents are highly educated, who have high solidarity with their parents, and whose parents hold norms of adolescent financial dependency have particularly large financial incentives to attend college — particularly a four-year college — due to the amount and type of financial support they can expect from parents. This study suggests that policymakers and practitioners who wish to reduce socioeconomic disparities in college access should look more closely at how financial aid policies interact with the actual support parents provide their children.
