摘要：This article analyzes a cash-transfer program conditioned to school performance focused on low-income students involved in non-mandatory secondary education: Becas 6000 in Andalusia, Spain. Administrative data on the fellows’ achievement are examined and a qualitative research strategy is used to analyze the grant’s effects on the schooling strategies, practices and expectations of recipients and their families. Several findings are worth noting. First, the number of fellows who reach academic requirements to receive the grant increases. Second, the incentive at stake produces different results in the efforts of various kinds of students: while those with the highest and the lowest levels of attainment before receiving the grant barely modify their efforts and scholar commitment, middle-range students increase their performance. Third, unexpected positive effects are observed, such as the solidification of future educational opportunities for students who ultimately receive the grant.
