Part of this report gives the 1974-75 survey findings and distribution of quality point average (QPA) of the 44 programs set up under Pennsylvania's Higher Education Equal Opportunity Program (Act 101) established in 1971. The program is supported entirely by State funds which are distributed to postsecondary degree granting institutions to maintain learning and special counseling services for disadvantaged undergraduate students. The report also provides an analysis of the relative effectiveness of the tutoring and counseling aspects of the Act 101 programs in Pennsylvania's institutions of higher education. It covers specifically the design of the study and findings. The findings are discussed separately as follows: (1) tutoring effectiveness by institutional category; (2) counseling effectiveness by institutional category; (3) institutional ranking for tutoring; (4) institutional ranking for counseling; and (5) patterns of overall program effectiveness. It is concluded that there is a positive correlation between hours of intervention (either tutoring or counseling) and achievement (quality point average). (Author/MC)
