Book excerpt: This report on the short-term effects of Upward Bound, a federal pre-college program designed to help economically disadvantaged students complete high school and gain access to post-secondary education, presents interim findings from the Longitudinal Effectiveness Study of Upward Bound based on data on approximately 2,800 students during the first year or two of high school. At present, there are more than 600 Upward Bound projects; they offer intensive instructional programs and are usually hosted by 2-year and 4-year colleges. The study found that: (1) Upward Bound has early positive impacts on students' educational expectations and academic course-taking; (2) students with lower educational expectations initially benefit more from Upward Bound; (3) Hispanic students initially benefit most from Upward Bound; and (4) many students (about 37 percent) who enter Upward Bound leave the program during the first year. After an executive summary and introductory chapter, Chapter 2 presents data on persistence in Upward Bound, and on the Upward Bound services offered. Chapter 3 details short-term impacts of Upward Bound, including the average impact of the program and groups benefitting most. The concluding chapter summarizes findings, compares them to previous findings, and draws implications for program improvement. Eight appendices provide additional detail on research methodology, data interpretation, and statistics. (Contains 18 references.) (Db).

Book excerpt: Policymakers have long been concerned about the disparities in college attendance between more and less advantaged groups of students. Upward Bound is one of the largest and longest running federal programs designed to help economically disadvantaged students prepare for, enter and succeed in college. Since December 1991, Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., (MPR) has been conducting the national evaluation of Upward Bound for the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The evaluation has focused on program implementation issues and the effects of the program on student outcomes. The "impact study" is designed to measure the impacts or effects of regular Upward Bound on student outcomes, and it is based on a longitudinal evaluation in which eligible applicants from a nationally representative sample of projects were randomly assigned to Upward Bound or to a control group. The results in this document are based on the national evaluation's third follow-up data collection, which was completed in 2000. Because the entire sample of students was beyond high school age by that time, the report includes updated findings on the effects of Upward Bound on high school outcomes. In addition, based on data covering the first few years after sample members left high school, the report addresses the following research questions: (1) What effect does Upward Bound have on students' postsecondary experiences? (2) Who benefits most from Upward Bound? and (3) What is the association between staying in Upward Bound and student outcomes? Findings in this report suggest that for the average student, Upward Bound: (1) increased the number of high school math credits earned by participants; (2) did not affect other measures of high school academic preparation; (3) may have increased enrollment at four-year institutions; and (4) did not affect enrollment at postsecondary institutions more generally when all types of postsecondary institutions are considered. Appended are: (1) Sample Design Unit Nonresponse and Weights; (2) Baseline Characteristics of the Treatment and Control Groups, Third Follow-Up Survey Respondents; (3) Program Effects and Standard Errors; (4) The Effect of Upward Bound on High School Outcomes by Selected Subgroups; (5) The Effect of Upward Bound on College Engagement by Selected Subgroups; (6) Methods Used to Estimate the Effects of Additional Upward Bound Participation; (7) Weighted Standard Deviations for All Outcome Variables; (8) Data Collection; and (9) Sample Sizes and Standard Errors for Reported Impact Estimates. (Contains 29 tables and 3 figures.).

Book excerpt: The General Accounting Office (GAO) undertook this review to test the effectiveness of the Upward Bound program, which is administered by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's (HEW) Office of Education (OE). This program was designed to provide low income students who are potentially successful but inadequately trained, with skills and motivation necessary to succeed in education beyond high school. The program is supposed to correct these students' faulty academic preparation by providing remedial instruction, altered curriculums, tutoring, cultural exposure, and encouragement. From 1965 through fiscal year 1973, about 206 million dollars was obligated for grants to and contracts with institutions of higher education and other qualifying public and private organizations for planning, developing, or carrying out this program. GAO reviewed 15 projects in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont that had obligated 12.1 million dollars through June 30, 1972. Although Upward Bound might be motivating students to enroll in college, OE does not know how effective the program has been in achieving its goals of equipping students with the academic skills and motivation necessary for success in college. Available data indicates that the program apparently has not achieved this goal. In terms of college retention and graduation, Upward Bound has been substantially less effective than indicated by earlier research studies and OE's annual evaluation report to the Congress.
