This project will investigate whether association with particular scholarship programs generates negative reputational consequences for labor market outcomes. It also will examine if and how employer characteristics are related to the potentially stigmatizing effects of such awards. In recent decades, many universities and companies have used scholarships, fellowships, and pipeline programs to achieve organizational goals. These programs offer members of some groups additional opportunities and resources but in doing so may label the recipients. Prior research has found that beneficiaries may be seen as less warm and less competent. The findings from this project will provide greater understanding of how opportunity-enhancing programs and awards may have unintended negative effects on their beneficiaries’ outcomes.This project uses a survey experiment to measure employer perceptions of scholarship winners. The sample consists of hiring managers and other professionals with recruiting and hiring experience. Respondents are randomly assigned resumés to review and are asked to answer questions about their perceptions of the job applicants represented by the resumés. The resumés experimentally manipulate the demographic group of the applicant and kind of scholarship received. The survey experiment will be complemented by a field experiment with similar experimental manipulations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将研究与特定奖学金计划的关联是否会对劳动力市场结果产生负面声誉影响，还将研究雇主特征是否以及如何相关，以调查近几十年来许多大学和公司使用奖学金的潜在污名化影响。 、奖学金和管道计划，以实现组织目标。这些计划为某些群体的成员提供了额外的机会和资源，但这样做可能会给接受者贴上标签。该项目将让人们更好地了解如何机会增强计划和奖励可能会对受益人的结果产生意想不到的负面影响。该项目使用一项调查实验来衡量雇主对奖学金获得者的看法。样本由招聘经理和其他具有招聘和招聘经验的专业人士组成。简历进行审查，并被要求回答有关他们对简历所代表的求职者的看法的问题。简历实验性地操纵了申请人的人口群体和所获得的奖学金类型。调查实验将通过类似实验的现场实验来补充。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
