Progress: Some changes to the performance indicators are planned for the 2004 report. College going rates for UB participants will be available in late 2004. SSS performance report data show a 67% college persistence rate in both 1999 and 2000. Thus, the performance targets for these years have been met. It is expected that these rates will continue for 2001 and 2002. No data are yet available on the 6-year college completion rates of SSS participants. McNair performance data for 1999-2000 show that an estimated 25 to 41% of McNair participants enrolled in a graduate program within one year after receiving an undergraduate degree. The data also show that 75% of McNair participants reported as graduate students in 1998-1999 were still enrolled in graduate school in 1999-2000; another 16% had graduated from the graduate school. Thus the McNair performance targets for 2000 have been met. It is expected that these rates will continue for 2001-2002. Explanation: Data from the national evaluations of the Upward Bound and Student Support Services programs provide the baseline data for these programs. The 1998-99 annual performance reports provide the baseline data for the McNair program. The Student Support Services (SSS) McNair, and Upward Bound performance reports are and will be used to determine if the performance targets are met. The college completion performance target of 29% includes only SSS students who remain at the same school through graduation. The SSS performance report submitted annually only requires projects to report on the academic progress of SSS participants that remain at the grantee institution. |
Additional Source Information: Upward Bound (UB), Student Support Service (SSS), and McNair Performance Reports (McNair). Frequency: Annually. Collection Period: 2002 - 2003 Data Available: October 2003 Validated By: No Formal Verification. The data are self-reported. Limitations: The national evaluations have provided baseline data for the UB and SSS programs and also provide data on appropriate comparison groups. However, these evaluations cannot be used to measure program improvements on an annual basis. Therefore, the Department has developed new performance reports to collect the needed information. The 1999-2000 data collected from the SSS and McNair reports have been analyzed to determine that the college persistence and graduate school enrollment and persistence targets were met. Actual performance data for fiscal years 2001 and 2002 are not yet available. Grantees report on fiscal year 2001 activities/performance in November/December 2002. Performance report data for fiscal year 2002 will be collected November/December 2003. |
