Dear «FIRSTNAME»:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is conducting a survey of individuals who graduated three to six years ago
with a degree in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) field from a Historically Black College
and University (HBCU) that received funding from NSF to implement a program called HBCU-UP. NSF records
indicate that you received a baccalaureate degree in a STEM field from «UNIVERSITY» within that time frame.
If you did not, please check this box and return this letter and the survey in the stamped, self-addressed envelope
that is enclosed.
If you did graduate from «UNIVERSITY» with a STEM degree, please take 12-15 minutes to complete the enclosed
survey. You may also contact our calling center at the number below and complete the survey in even
less time over the telephone. In the interest of improving the education of future STEM students at your HBCU,
NSF would like to know about your experiences in the STEM degree program as well as your professional or
academic experience since obtaining your bachelor’s degree.
Your individual responses will be kept confidential and the information you and others provide will be used for
program assessment and research purposes. The data collected will only be available to NSF and its research team,
which includes the Urban Institute and NuStats. All three institutions are legally bound to protect the identity of
respondents to the enclosed survey.
Survey Response Options
Mail: To respond by mail, simply fill out the paper survey and return it in the enclosed
postage paid envelope.
Telephone: To respond by phone, please call us at 1-877-221-7828 and mention that
you’d like to complete the HBCU survey. An interviewer will be available to take your
call from 4pm to 10pm Central Time Monday through Friday, and noon to 6 pm on
Saturdays and Sundays.
If you have any questions about the study, you may call the project manager, Adella Santos at 800-447-8287 x2274.
Your time and cooperation are greatly appreciated.
We hope to hear from you (either by mail or telephone) by «DISPLAY_RETURN». To thank you for your time and
cooperation, we have enclosed a small cash gift.
Sincerely,
Adella Santos, Senior Research Associate
