Attract, Inspire, Mentor and Support Students (AIMS[superscript 2]), a grant-funded program from the U.S. Department of Education for the HSI-STEM and Articulation Programs, focuses on improving outcomes for Hispanic and low-income students in STEM. Using a quasi-experimental design (QED) approach, this study examined outcomes between students who participated in AIMS[superscript 2] and a matched control group. Results indicated that AIMS[superscript 2] is highly effective in increased academic success outcomes among its participants. AIMS[superscript 2] students outperformed a matched control group on all outcome measures among both freshmen and transfers. In particular, there were statistically significant differences for all nine outcomes for Freshmen, and for five out of ten outcomes among Transfers. Moreover, among AIMS[superscript 2] participants, the research component of the program, holding other variables constant, trended towards higher success in outcomes in comparison to AIMS[superscript 2] participants who received faculty and peer mentoring only. Implications for future research include examining additional time to track degree completion outcomes for all entry cohorts and assessment of endogenous factors that may be influencing the outcomes.
