Explanation.

The persistence rate may underestimate academic success because some athletes may retire from their sport and no longer qualify as a resident athlete at an Olympic Training Center, but they may continue school at a different college. There is no way to track those students continuing at another college.

The actual number of graduates is likely higher than the number reflected in this graduation rate as student athletes who leave the Olympic Training Center program and transfer to another university can not be tracked.

Objective2of2: / The Stupak Scholarship Program will increase its efficiency.
Measure2.1of1: The cost per successful outcome: the federal cost for each Stupak scholarship recipient that persists in school or graduates. (Desired direction: decrease)2015

Explanation.

The efficiency measure is calculated by dividing the total appropriation for this program by the number of Stupak scholarship recipients who persist in school or graduate. For FY 2005, the 2004 appropriation of $988,135 was divided by 78 known scholarship recipients who persisted in school or graduated. For FY 2006, the 2005 appropriation of $980,096 was divided by 91 known scholarship recipients who persisted in school or graduated. For FY 2008-09, this measure is without targets. For FY 2007, the 2006 appropriation of $970,200 was divided by 87 known scholarship recipients who persisted in school or graduated. For FY 2008-09, this measure is without targets.
