Upward Bound projects with a
professional development package and
tools to provide semi-customized
college advising to students
participating in Upward Bound.
Upward Bound projects will be invited
to volunteer for the demonstration, and
the first 200 projects to volunteer for the
demonstration will be included.
Volunteer projects will be randomly
assigned so that half receive the staff
training, materials, tools, and resources
in the first wave (spring, summer, fall
2015), and the other half will receive the
staff training, materials, tools, and
resources in the second wave (summer
and fall 2016). The study will follow
students who participate in both groups
of projects as 11th graders in the 2014–
2015 school year. The study will
examine the impact of the
demonstration on key outcomes
including college application behavior,
college acceptance and matriculation,
and receipt of financial aid. This first of
two ICRs for the study requests approval
for the overall evaluation design, to
collect 11th grade student rosters at
each participating project in order to
define the evaluation sample, and to
administer the student baseline survey.
A later ICR will request approval for
other data collection, including a Project
Director survey and a follow-up student
survey.
