Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 1977, vol. 2, issue 2, 121-137

Abstract: The Summer Enrichment Program at the Davis campus of the University of California is an academic and orientation program which is directed toward aiding low-income and minority students in making the transition to the college curriculum. Participants in the program are high-potential students who are admitted to the University via waivers of standard requirements. An evaluation of the program is described in which analysis of covariance is used to focus on the impact of the program on college academic work. The integration of this statistical study into the decision making process of an evaluation task force is also described.
