Kentucky Targeted Intervention Program Study

This project studied the efficacy and costs of a high school-to-college transition intervention implemented by the Kentucky Department of Education: the Targeted Intervention Program (TIP). TIP screens high school juniors for college readiness and provides interventions--often in the form of transition courses--to those deemed not on track to be college ready when graduating high school. Similar interventions are offered in about 40 states at either the state or the local level. <br><br>The efficacy of TIP was evaluated using extant administrative data stored at the Kentucky Center for Statistics. These data can be accessed by submitting a data use application at https://kystats.ky.gov/. The cost study relied on primary data collected through interviews and online surveys. The final research data for the cost study are shared here.
