Awarded GAANN fellows

The number of fellowships the grantee committed to award when the proposal was funded either in 2000 or 2001.

Degree of urbanization

Grantee location is based on the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Educational Statistics' (NCES) Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System's (IPEDS) variable: HD2003.LOCALE:VL-Degree of urbanization, for the institution's locale. These categories are:

Large city - A central city of a consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA) or metropolitan statistical area (MSA) with the city having a population greater than or equal to 250,000;

Mid-size city - A central city of a CMSA or MSA, with the city having a population less than 250,000;

Urban fringe of mid-size city - Any incorporated place, CDP, or non-place territory within a CMSA or MSA of a Large City of a Mid-size City and defined as urban by the Census Bureau;

Large town - An incorporated place or CDP with a population greater than or equal to 25,000 and located outside a CMSA or MSA;

Small town - An incorporated place or CDP with a population less than 25,000 and greater than or equal to 2,500 and located outside a CMSA or MSA; and

Rural - Any incorporated place, CDP, or non-place territory designated as rural by the Census Bureau.

Efficiency measure: average federal cost per successful outcome

The unweighted average federal cost per successful outcome for all the grants in a given category. Total federal obligations is divided by the sum of the successful outcomes for all the grants in a given category.

Efficiency measure: federal cost per successful outcome

The average amount of federal funds required to achieve a successful outcome over the 3-4 years of the grant. Total federal obligation is divided by the number of successful outcomes.

Institution control/affiliation

Grantee institutions select one of these categories in IPEDS variable: IC2004. The four classifications are:

Public - An educational institution whose programs and activities are operated by publicly elected or appointed school officials and which is supported primarily by public funds;

Institutional match percentage

In order to receive a GAANN award, grantees are required to match at least 25% of the total federal obligation by acquiring additional funds from other sources. This is the actual percentage of matching funds that the grantee provided to match the federal obligation, as reported in the grantee's final performance report.

Size of institution

The total number of men and women enrolled for credit in the fall of the 2004-05 academic year as reported by the institution in IPEDS variable: HD2004.These categories are based on the NCES Web-based College Opportunities On-Line (COOL) system. The five classifications are:
