  **Program      **To improve the capacity of minority-serving
  Goal:**        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.**

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Data Quality**. Data are supplied by institutions, which certify the
accuracy of the data.

**Explanation**. Institutions report a persistence rate, not the
numerator and denominator. As a result, the persistence rate for TCCUs
is calculated as a median. Since average full-time,
degree-/certificate-seeking enrollment at each Tribal College is about
300, a one percent change in persistence (first-year to sophomore) can
be brought about by two students. The small enrollments allow the
results to change greatly based on a few students. Small, incremental
improvements are expected.

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Data Quality**. Data are supplied by institutions, which certify the
accuracy of the data.

**Explanation**. The calculation is the appropriation for the
Strengthening TCCU program divided by the number of graduates. The
\$12,386 cost for the 2003-04 value reflects an appropriation of \$23.3
million divided by 1,880 graduates. The \$14,046 cost for the 2004-05
value reflects an appropriation of \$23.8 million divided by 1,695
graduates. There were two institutions not reporting degrees awarded for
2005 who had reported activity for 2004. A majority of the funds
appropriated for this program are used for construction. Data for FY
2006 will be available in December 2007. For FY 2007-09, this is a
measure without targets.
