Title of Collection: Student Messaging
in GEAR UP Demonstration.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 16,080.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 4,160.
Abstract: The Student Messaging in
GEAR UP Demonstration, sponsored by
the Institute of Education Sciences
(IES), U.S. Department of Education
(ED), is being conducted to test the
effectiveness of a promising strategy to
improve college-related outcomes in the
federal college access program Gaining
Early Awareness and Readiness for
Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP).
The demonstration will use a
randomized controlled trial (RCT)
design to test the effectiveness of
sending customized messaging to
students, first during the summer after
high school graduation, and then in the
fall and spring of their expected first
year of college. Students within high
schools that volunteer for the
demonstration will be randomly
assigned to either receive the messages
or not. This ICR requests clearance for
the collection of GEAR UP student
rosters and administration of a baseline
survey. In addition to the baseline
survey data that will be collected from
students, college-related outcome data
will be extracted from national datasets
(National Student Clearinghouse Data
(NSC) and the Federal Student Aid
(FSA) database). Impact and descriptive
analyses will be conducted to answer
the study research questions. The
evaluation plans call for two reports.
The first, published in summer 2018,
will be based on data collected through
2017 that will look at college advising
received in high school and early
college-related outcomes (i.e., college
enrollment and FAFSA completion).
The second report will be available in
early 2020, and will investigate college
persistence.
