Two distinct literature bases exist documenting the benefits of study aboard participation and state-adopted merit-aid policies. However, none, to date, have estimated the impact of merit-aid adoption on study abroad participation. Results from our study demonstrate the potential positive externality merit-aid policy adoption has on study abroad participation. Additionally, we find that increases in study abroad participation is concentrated without public doctoral/research institutions.
