Explanation.

This program has a long-term target of 10,000 for FY 2009. We will continue to report data annually, but
there are no intermediate annual targets. Data for FY 2007 will be available in December 2007.

Objective 2 of 4: Maintain or increase the persistence rate for students enrolled at TCCUs.
Measure 2.1 of 1: The percentage of first-time, full-time degree-seeking undergraduate students who were in their
year and are enrolled in the current year at the same Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities institution. (Des

Frequency of Data Collection. Annual
Data Quality. Data are supplied by institutions, which certify the accuracy of the data.
Target Context. Target values for FY 2007 were established before data for FY 2005 and FY 2006
became available.
Explanation. Institutions report a persistence rate, not the numerator and denominator. As a result, the
persistence rate for TCCUs is calculated as a median. Since average full-time, degree-/certificate-seeking
enrollment at each Tribal College is about 300, a one percent change in persistence (first-year to
sophomore) can be brought about by two students. The small enrollments allow the results to change
greatly based on a few students. Small, incremental improvements are expected.

Objective 3 of 4: Maintain or increase the graduation rate for students enrolled at TCCUs.
Measure 3.1 of 2: The percentage of first-time, full-time degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled at four-ye
graduate within six years of enrollment. (Desired direction: increase) 1571

Data System (IPEDS) for FY 2003.

Target Context.

Target values for 2007 and beyond were revised based on actual 2005 data. Given the small number of
institutions, estimation of this rate lacks percision.

Explanation.

Graduation rate data first became available from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System
(IPEDS) for FY 2003.

Objective 4 of 4: Maintain or improve the efficiency of service delivery to TCCU students.

Measure 4.1 of 1: Cost per successful outcome: federal cost per degrees awarded at Tribally
Controlled Colleges and Universities institutions. (Desired direction: increase) 1574

Data Quality. Data are supplied by institutions, which certify the accuracy of the data.
Explanation. The calculation is the appropriation for the Strengthening TCCU program divided by the
number of graduates. The $12,386 cost for the 2003-04 value reflects an appropriation of $23.3 million
divided by 1,880 graduates. The $14,046 cost for the 2004-05 value reflects an appropriation of $23.8
million divided by 1,695 graduates. There were two institutions not reporting degrees awarded for 2005
who had reported activity for 2004. A majority of the funds appropriated for this program are used for
construction. Data for FY 2006 will be available in December 2007. For FY 2007-09, this is a measure
without targets.
