Third Year Report on ACG and National SMART Grant Outcomes Released
The U.S. Department of Education has released the third report from a five-year program evaluation study conducted by MPR Associates, Inc. and JBL Associates, Inc. This report examined program participation data from the first three years of the Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) and the National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (National SMART) Grant programs. Major findings include:
The number of ACG and National SMART Grant recipients has increased, although the percentage of Pell Grant recipients with these grants has remained low.
Many recipients could not meet the strict conditions required to renew their grants the following year.
First-year ACG recipients and third-year National SMART Grant recipients persisted at higher rates than students who only received a Pell Grant
