1 Legislative Report on WSOS Cohorts 1 & 2 DECEMBER 1, 2013 SUBMITTED BY COLLEGE SUCCESS FOUNDATION THE WASHINGTON STATE OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR

2 Executive Summary STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and health care degrees are critical to the continuing economic strength of Washington. Yet many talented students have not had the support, incentive or guidance to help them enter and succeed in those fields, forcing employers to look outside Washington for employees to fill some of the best jobs available in our state. The solution is here. The Washington State Opportunity Scholarship (WSOS) increases access to STEM and health care education, helps students meet their full potential and is key to the stability and prosperity of Washington s workforce and economy. If our students are supported in local higher education and employment, they will be able to keep our economy strong and competitive and blaze the trail for the next generation. This legislative report provides the most recent data for how the first two cohorts of WSOS scholars are doing as well as characteristics of the most recent applicants. At a glance our results show: 1,488 applicants of diverse backgrounds applied in 2013 and almost half were accepted. Approximately half (49%) of eligible applicants self-identified as students of color. More than half (59%) of eligible applicants were female. 719 scholars enrolled full time as part of Cohort 2. The majority of scholars (60%) are female. More than half (51%) are students of color. Scholars come from counties across the state. 79% of Cohort 1 and 84% of Cohort 2 scholars attend four-year colleges or universities. The largest proportion of each cohort attends the University of Washington (Seattle). Scholars can now choose from among 367 majors in 12 STEM and health care categories. 76% of Cohort 1 scholars either graduated or re-enrolled for the academic year. 409 Cohort 1 scholars graduated with a bachelor s degree. $30M has already been contributed to the scholarship and endowment accounts. All scholarships were paid from the scholarship account rather than the endowment account.

5 Introduction The Washington State Opportunity Scholarship (WSOS) is designed to help low- and middle-income Washington students earn bachelor s degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and health care fields. Data in this report provide a quantitative picture of the WSOS applicants and scholars. Cohort 1 includes students who applied for and received WSOS for the academic year. Cohort 2 includes students who applied for and received WSOS for the academic year. Data were collected by the WSOS program administrator, College Success Foundation. See Appendix A for a more detailed description of the program administrator s role. Some numbers have been rounded up or down for simplicity so all charts may not total exactly 100%. ELIGIBLE EDUCATION PROGRAMS Sec. 8.1 (a): Which education programs the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship Board determined were eligible for purposes of the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship. Scholars can now choose from among 367 majors within 12 categories The WSOS Board approved 367 college majors in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and health care within 12 categories of majors for Cohort 2 ( ). In addition to the aforementioned eligibility requirements, scholars must be pursuing or intend to pursue one of these majors in college to be eligible for WSOS. See Table 1 and Appendix B for details.

6 APPLICANT CHARACTERISTICS Sec. 8.1 (b): The number of applicants for the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship, disaggregated, to the extent possible, by race, ethnicity, gender, county of origin, age and median family income. 1,488 applicants of diverse backgrounds applied for WSOS in 2013 In total, 1,488 students submitted applications to join WSOS Cohort 2. Of those, 985 students met the eligibility requirements for the scholarship. 3 More than half (59%) of eligible applicants were female and approximately half (49%) self-identified as students of color. See Graphic 1. GRAPHIC 1 Self-Identified Race or Ethnicity of Eligible Applicants 1.3% NOT PROVIDED 0.3% AMERICAN INDIAN OR ALASKA NATIVE 17.3% ASIAN 51.2% WHITE 6.0% BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN 16.9% HISPANIC/LATINO OF ANY RACE(S) 6.5% TWO OR MORE RACES 0.6% NATIVE HAWAIIAN OR OTHER PACIFIC ISLANDER 3. Eligible recipients must be Washington state residents, who have earned their high school diplomas from a Washington state high school and intend to pursue a bachelor s degree in the science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) or health care fields from a Washington state college or university. Additionally, recipients must have filed the Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) and must have a family income equal to or less than 125% of the Washington state median income, controlling for family size (e.g., under $102,300 for a family of four). Scholars must have a GPA at or above 2.75 and Washington state residency. WAOPPORTUNITYSCHOLARSHIP.ORG 2

7 Applicants came from counties across the state. Counties with the most applicants include: 30% in King County. 13% in Pierce County. 8% in Snohomish County. 6% in Spokane County. 6% in Clark County. Most applicants (73%) were high school-aged. At the scholarship application deadline on February 18, 2013, applicants indicated they were the following ages: 73% were 18 years old or younger. 20% were 19 to 22 years old. 7% were 23 years old or older. Applicant income distribution was fairly even across all deciles. The median household income for all eligible applicants (regardless of household size) was $43,644 while the mean family income for all eligible applicants was $47,399. For each household size the maximum household income was divided into ten equal categories to create income deciles (with 1 as the lowest and 10 as the highest). For example, a family of four from the lowest income decile had a household income below $10,230; from the fifth income decile below $51,150; and from the highest income decile no more than $102,300. In total, 36% of all eligible applicants came from the bottom three income deciles; 40% from the middle four income deciles; and 24% came from the top three income deciles.

8 SCHOLAR CHARACTERISTICS Sec. 8.1 (c): The number of scholars in the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship program, disaggregated, to the extent possible, by race, ethnicity, gender, county of origin, age and median family income. 719 Cohort 2 scholars enrolled full time and most (60%) were female Of the 985 eligible applicants from the second year, 778 were selected to receive the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship (Cohort 2). As of October 19, 2013, 59 scholarship recipients either did not enroll in college in Washington state or enrolled less than full time, leaving 719 WSOS Cohort 2 scholars enrolled full time during the fall term. In total, 60% of Cohort 2 scholars were female (n=433) and 40% were male (n=286). Cohort 2 is even more ethnically and racially diverse than Cohort 1. Compared to Cohort 1, the proportion of students of color participating in Cohort 2 has increased by 14%. See Graphic 2.

At the scholarship application deadline on February 18, 2013, scholars were the following ages: 71% were 18 years old or younger. 20% were 19 to 22 years old. 8% were 23 years old or older. See Graphic 4 for a comparison of ages between the two cohorts. GRAPHIC 4 Age of Scholars by Percent 0% 100% 32% 42% 26% COHORT 1 COHORT 2 71% 20% 8% 18 OR YOUNGER 19 TO 22 YEARS OLD 23 OR OLDER The increase in younger applicants between Cohorts 1 and 2 coincides with the WSOS Board s decision to allot a higher proportion of scholarships to first-year college students and a change in scholarship eligibility criteria. The new criteria limits the eligible class standing beginning with Cohort 2 applicants to their first, second or third year in college. In contrast, Cohort 1 scholars in their fourth or fifth year of college were also eligible to receive the scholarship. Family incomes are nearly identical for C1 and C2 scholars. The median family income for all Cohort 2 scholars (regardless of household size) was $38,000, while the mean family income for all Cohort 2 scholars was $43,081. Compared to Cohort 1, a slightly higher proportion of Cohort 2 scholars represent the bottom three income deciles (40% vs. 36%); about the same proportion represent the middle four income deciles (41% vs. 40%); and a slightly lower proportion of Cohort 2 scholars represent the top three income deciles (18% vs. 23%).
