    I'm really interested to read the study.

    On the surface it seems pretty intuitive without having to read the article. You are more invested in college if you are using your own money than if someone else is footing the bill. Less likely to have professional students spending many years in college on their parents dimes pursuing degrees with little to no utility. Although the same can be said for a lot of students who utilize government backed student loans as well I suppose.

    Exactly. In a way it's similar to tuition reimbursement from an employer. If you don't earn at least a "C", you don't get reimbursed. Could you imagine if Pell Grants operated like that? Goodness, we'd have a number of students paying those back... Well, we'd have a number of students who were SUPPOSED to pay it back, but I'd wager they wouldn't.
