Summary Description	Using a longitudinal survey from rural Guatemala, this study examines the effect of an early childhood nutritional intervention on adult educational outcomes. Exposure to the nutritional intervention from birth to 36 months of age (but not later) led to future educational dividends including higher completed grades by women (1.2 grades), higher scores on reading comprehension tests for both women and men, and higher scores on non-verbal cognitive ability tests for both women and men.
