A 20-year retrospective study indicates that the Cleveland Scholarship Program (CSP) has been significant in enabling lower income students to complete a college education at rates higher than those reported for the United States as a whole. CSP provides advisors who work individually with financially disadvantaged seniors in all Cleveland (Ohio) public high schools, and several suburban and Catholic high schools, providing motivation, information, and financial aid packaging. Students need not be in the top academic category. Data were analyzed from survey responses of 633 respondents who had been assisted by CSP and began postsecondary education during the period 1967-1983. Questionnaires had been sent to a random sample of 2,005 students from a pool of 8,205. Summary findings include the following: (1) more than three-quarters of the respondents completed college; (2) more than half were very satisfied with all types of CSP help; (3) older respondents were apt to have attained professional or managerial status in their occupations, and currently live outside the central city; (4) males were apt to have finished college, and be employed in professional occupations; (5) females were apt to have been born and live currently in the central city, and attended college in Ohio; (6) blacks were more apt to have attended four-year colleges, and have been born, work, and live currently in the central city; (7) whites were apt to have enrolled in post-graduate education; (8) respondents from lower income families were apt to have graduated from central city high schools, and completed higher education. Statistical data are included on three tables. (FMW)
