HEA: AID Strengthening Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions - FY 2007


CFDA Number: 84.031N - Strengthening Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions

Program Goal: To improve the capacity of minority-serving institutions, which traditionally have limited resources and serve large numbers of low-income and minority students, to improve student success and to provide high-quality educational opportunities for their students.

Objective 1 of 4: Maintain or increase enrollments at Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving Institutions over the long term.
Indicator 1.1 of 1: Student enrollment: Full-time degree-seeking undergraduate enrollment at Alaska Native and Native-Hawaiian Serving institutions (AN/NH) will increase.
 
Measure 1.1.1 of 1: The number of full-time degree-seeking undergraduates enrolling at AN/NH institutions.

Survey/Assessment: Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.
Web Site: http://nces.ed.gov/ipedspas

Frequency: Annually.

Next Data Available: December 2006

Data Validated By: NCES.
Data supplied by institutions, which certify the accuracy of the data.
 
Explanation: Fall enrollment data will be monitored annually to measure progress toward the long-term target, which is projected to be met in 2009. (Actual data for 2004 had previously been erroneously reported for 2003.)
 
Objective 2 of 4: Maintain or increase the persistence rate for students at Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving Institutions.
Indicator 2.1 of 1: Persistence rate: The first-year persistence rate of full-time, first-time undergraduate students at AN/NH institutions.
 
Measure 2.1.1 of 1: The percentage of full-time undergraduate students who were in their first year of postsecondary enrollment in the previous year and are enrolled in the current year at the same Alaskan Native/Native Hawaiian institution.

Next Data Available: December 2006

Data Validated By: NCES.
Data supplied by institutions, which certify the accuracy of the data.
 
Explanation: Persistence data first became available from IPEDS in 2003-04. Institutions report a persistence rate, not the numerator and denominator. As a result, the persistence rate for the AN/NH institutions is calculated as a median. The measure for 2003-04 is only based on data for two institutions. (Actual 2004 data was erroneously reported for 2003).
 
Objective 3 of 4: Maintain or increase the graduation rate at Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving Institutions.
Indicator 3.1 of 1: Graduation rate: The graduation rate of undergraduates at AN/NH institutions.
 
Measure 3.1.1 of 2: The percentage of undergraduate students at four-year AN/NH institutions who graduate within six years of enrollment.

Objective 4 of 4: Maintain or improve the efficiency of service delivery to AN/NH students.
Indicator 4.1 of 1: Efficiency measure: Cost per successful program outcome
 
Measure 4.1.1 of 1: Federal cost for undergraduate degree at AN/NH institutions.

Frequency: Annually.

Next Data Available: December 2006

Data Validated By: NCES.
Data supplied by institutions, which certify the accuracy of the data.
 
Explanation: This measure is calculated as appropriation for the Strengthening AN/NH Institutions program divided by the number of undergraduate and graduate degrees awarded. The $1,940 value for the efficiency measure for 2003 reflects an appropriation of $8,180,479 divided by 4,216 graduates. The $2,532 value for 2004 reflects an appropriation of $10,935,100 divided by 4,318 graduates.
