Penelitian ini menganalisis korelasi bantuan pendidikan dengan basis syarat need dan merit di Universitas Indonesia terhadap pendapatan individu dan ketimpangan pada tingkat program studi. Studi ini menggunakan metode pooled cross section regression dengan data Tracer Study Universitas Indonesia. Hasil menunjukkan penerima bantuan berbasis need memiliki pendapatan yang lebih rendah sedangkan penerima bantuan merit memiliki pendapatan lebih tinggi dibandingkan non-penerima bantuan. Pada penelitian ini juga ditemukan korelasi positif antara proporsi bantuan pendidikan need terhadap ketimpangan prodi. Namun tidak ditemukan korelasi antara proporsi bantuan merit dengan ketimpangan pendapatan pada tingkat program studi. Studi ini memberikan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang dampak dari dua jenis bantuan pendidikan di tingkat perguruan tinggi, khususnya di Universitas Indonesia.

This research analyzes the correlation of educational aid based on need and merit at the University of Indonesia with individual income and inequality at the study program level. This research uses pooled cross-section regression method with data from the Tracer Study at the University of Indonesia. The results show that need-based aid recipients have lower incomes, while merit-based aid recipients have higher incomes compared to non-recipients. The study also found a positive correlation between the proportion of need-based educational aid and income inequality at the study program level. However, no correlation was found between the proportion of merit-based aid and income inequality at the study program level. The study provides a deeper understanding of the impact of these two types of education assistance at the university level, especially at the University of Indonesia.
