This Data Point uses data from the 2016/17 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:16/17). The study is a national survey of students who earned a bachelor's degree during the 2015-16 academic year. Students are surveyed at different time points to study change. The second collection was done in 2017, about 1 year after respondents earned bachelor's degrees. Data include information on enrollment for further education the year after earning bachelor's degrees. Data also include the financial aid status of those students. "Student," in this Data Point, refers to 2015-16 bachelor's degree earners who sought more education the next year. Figures compare students who had a Pell Grant as undergraduates to those who did not. The following questions are presented and answered: (1) What type of institutions do bachelor's degree earners attend just after graduating? Do institution characteristics differ by Pell Grant receipt?; and (2) Were students who received Pell Grants for their bachelor's degree more or less likely to use scholarships, grants, or federal student loans to finance later education?
