Standard errors in parentheses are clustered by state. Contemporaneous college enrollment indicates current enrollment in college at a given age, observed through Form 1098-T, filed by educational institutions. Cumulative college enrollment indicates ever having enrolled in college by a given age, starting at age 19. Coefficients for each age are obtained from separate reduced form regressions of college enrollment on simulated years eligible, ages 0–18. The specification includes fixed effects for birth cohort by month and for state of residence at age 15 (the youngest age at which we observe all individuals in our sample).
