    The Impact of Scholarships for Asian American and Pacific Islander Community College Students: Findings from an Experimental Design Study
    Teranishi, Robert T.; Martin, Margary; Bordoloi Pazich, Loni; Alcantar, Cynthia M.; Dolly Nguyen, Bach Mai; Curammeng, Edward R. (National Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Research in Education (CARE), 2015-10-01)
    This report provides results from the study of scholarship funding provided to AAPI students attending PEER community college campus partners. While APIASF distributed scholarships, CARE conducted the external evaluation to measure the impact of the funding on intermediate and long-term academic outcomes. As the first study to examine AAPI scholarship recipients at community colleges, we focus this report on describing the cohort of applicants for the scholarship program and provide some early findings from the first year of the longitudinal analysis of recipients and non-recipients. This research provides baseline findings upon which future studies can track the long-term impact of scholarship funding for AAPI students attending community colleges.

    Measuring the Impact of MSI-Funded Programs on Student Success Findings from the Evaluation of Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions
    Teranishi, Robert T.; Martin, Margary; Bordoloi Pazich, Loni; Alcantar, Cynthia M.; Kim Nguyen, Tu-Lien (National Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Research in Education (CARE), 2014-04-01)
    This report shares findings from a three-year longitudinal study of three Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs)—one of the newest minority serving institution (MSI) designations—and provides evidence for the impact of federally-funded campus programs on persistence, degree attainment, and transfer to four-year institutions for low-income Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students. This report demonstrates the important role of inquiry in enhancing the capacity-building efforts of institutions that serve disproportionately high concentrations of low-income minority students.
