Abstract
This analysis looks at the impacts of Salt Lake Community College’s (SLCC) Promise program on three primary student outcomes: term GPA, term Credits and Fall to Fall retention. The Promise program was designed to encourage Pell qualifying students to act like ‘good’ students. To qualify for SLCC’s Promise in addition to qualifying for Pell, a student needs to maintain a passing GPA, enroll in at least 12 credits in a term, and have a Degreeworks plan on file. Because of Promise’s requirements both term GPA and term Credits will be difficult to assess due to extreme self-selection bias (Promise’s requirements automatically select likely good students).
