abstract: 'Up to three-fourths of college students can be classified as

  ``nontraditional,{''''} yet whether typical policy interventions improve

  their education and labor market outcomes is understudied. I use a

  regression discontinuity design to estimate the impacts of a state

  financial aid program aimed towards nontraditional students. Eligibility

  has no impacts on degree completion for students intending to enroll in

  community colleges or four-year colleges but increases bachelor''s

  degrees for students interested in large, for-profit colleges by four

  percentage points. I find no impacts on employment or earnings for all

  applicants. This research highlights challenges in promoting human

  capital investment for adults.'
