| CFDA Number: | 84.042A - TRIO Student Support Services |
| Program Goal: Increase the percentage of low-income, first-generation college students who successfully pursue postsecondary education opportunities. |
| Objective 1 of 1: Increase postsecondary persistence and completion rates of low-income, first-generation individuals in the academic pipeline. |
| Indicator 1.1 of 4: Postsecondary persistence: Percentage of Student Support Services participants persisting at the same institution will increase. |
Source: Evaluation, Higher Education. Section: The National Evaluation of Upward Bound: Summary of First-year Impacts and Program Operations (1997) . Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: November 2006 The annual performance report is based on self-reported data; a variety of data quality checks are used to assess the completeness and reasonableness of the data submitted. Explanation: Persistence is defined as the rate of freshman participants who continue to enroll at the grantee institution in the following academic year. Data from the national study of the Student Support Services Program provided the baseline data (1999 actual performance). Subsequent data are from the Annual Performance Reports. Targets were recalculated in FY 2006, as the persistence rate has increased since the baseline year. Previously reported FY 2004 data has been recalculated to be more accurate. |

| Indicator 1.3 of 4: Postsecondary completion-four-year schools: Percentage of Student Support Services freshmen completing an Bachelors degree at original institution within six years will increase. |
Source: Grantee Performance Report, Annual Performance Report for the Student Support Services (SSS) Program. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: November 2006 The annual performance report is comprised of self-reported data. However, a variety of data quality checks are used to assess the completeness and reasonableness of the data submitted. Explanation: 2003-04 is the first year for which graduation data for four-year schools were available from the annual performance reports. Previously reported FY 2004 data has been recalculated to be more accurate. |

| Indicator 1.4 of 4: Efficiency Measure: Cost per successful outcome. |
Source: Grantee Performance Report, Annual Performance Report for the Student Support Services (SSS) Program. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: November 2006 Improvements: Actual allocations of the annual appropriation are now used instead of the overall appropriation. Explanation: The efficiency measure is derived by dividing the annual appropriation by the number of students completing, transferring or persisting at the same institution during that specific school year. The 2007 target was established to reduce the gap by $13 or 5 percent (viewed another way, there was a 20 percent difference between the 2004 cost per outcome and cost per output, which the 2007 target would reduce to 19 percent). As more trend data become available, additional data analysis are completed, and feedback is received from the TRIO community, the Department will work to ensure that efficiency measure data are informative and useful, and to ensure that efficiency measure targets are sufficiently ambitious yet reasonable. |
