In contrast to the majority of the period covered by the NLSY, today's welfare system does
not allow most women to continue to receive welfare after 60 months of receipt, and many states
have even shorter lifetime limits. Those who are in college would likely be dropped from the rolls
when they reach their limit.3 This analysis of the correlation between time on aid and college enrollment and graduation pertains only to women whose options for college enrollment are not
curtailed by program requirements associated with their welfare receipt. Still, findings strongly
suggest that pursuing a college degree takes time and may have ramifications for time on aid. If the
investment in college is one that results with graduation, the additional time on aid may not have
serious future ramifications for the graduate. For non-graduates, the majority of welfare recipients
who enroll in college, the story is not as promising. Enrollment without graduation is not associated
with the extent of improvement in outcomes seen by graduates. Hence, the use of many months on
aid to attend college may leave time-limited non-graduates in a difficult position later in their lives.
