TRIO Performance Measures

Claudio R. Prieto
Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Higher Education Programs U.S. Department of Education
Washington, DC

OVERALL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The Department of Education is committed to sustaining and improving educational opportunities for disadvantaged students as they progress through the academic pipeline from middle through graduate school. As 0MB and Congress move toward the performance-based budgeting ;mandated by the Government Performance and Results Act, a major influence on TRIO program funds will be the availability of performance impact data. To this end, the Department has developed a number of performance indicators which we hope will be of benefit in demonstrating program effectiveness, The indicators, which are grouped according to major TRIO program objectives, are:

HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETION
Upward Bound participants (9th grade cohorts) will complete high school at higher rates than comparable nonparticipants.

POSTSECONDARY ENROLLMENT
Upward Bound participants (9th grade cohorts) will enroll in postsecondary education programs at higher rates than comparable nonparticipants.

The ratio of Talent Search and Educational Opportunities Centers EOC) participants who apply to college and/or apply for student financial aid will increase.

POSTSECONDARY PERSISTENCE AND COMPLETION
Upward Bound participants who enroll in postsecondary education will complete 2 or 4 year postsecondary education programs at rates higher than comparable non-participants.

Student Support Services participants will persist and complete 2 or 4 year postsecondary education programs at higher rates than comparable nonparticipants.

The persistence and graduation rates of Student Supports Services participants will increase.
