Foreword

Connecticut Higher Education Data and Trends is published annually by the Office of

Higher Education pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 10a-57. The report contains

key indicators measuring the health of Connecticut’s public and independent colleges and

universities ranging from student participation to education costs and financial aid.

Most information used for this report is derived from the national Integrated

Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). The Office of Higher Education also wishes to

acknowledge data contributions provided by Connecticut’s colleges and universities.

As requested by the General Assembly’s Office of Program Review and Investigations

(PRI), the appendix to this report includes a copy of the University of Connecticut’s January

2016 Response to the Recommendations of the PRI Report, “The University of Connecticut’s

Affordability to Students.”

Governor’s Scholarship Program (GSP)


The Governor’s Scholarship Program (GSP) is the state’s financial aid program for eligible Connecticut

residents who enroll as undergraduates at Connecticut’s public and nonprofit, independent institutions of

higher education. The program went into effect on July 1, 2013. It combined all non-programmatic, state-

funded student financial aid into one student-oriented program with three components administered by the

Office of Higher Education. The three components of GSP are a need-merit scholarship, a need-based grant

and an academic incentive award (AIA). All three components are designed to provide aid to Connecticut’s

neediest students, while supporting access, retention and completion.

Objectives

Access — GSP supports access by making college more affordable for the neediest students. This

program applies the same eligibility and award standards to all students regardless of the school they

choose to attend and targets those students with the most need. This approach provides consistency for

students, measurability for the state, and the most effective use of funding.

Retention — Awards contribute to students staying in school. Awards will be renewable with satisfactory

academic progress and continuing need. Awards are available for 1.5 times the minimum time to

graduation (3 years for a 2-year school; 6 years for a 4-year school).

Completion — GSP focuses on student completion by making college more affordable and encouraging on-time

completion.

Average Award

The Need-Merit Scholarship

The Governor's Need-Merit Scholarship Program provides state aid to help Connecticut’s neediest and

brightest students pay for college. It is not strictly a merit program; priority is given to those who are

least able to contribute to college costs. Based upon continued funding, students may use their award at any

Connecticut college or university. Awards are made on a sliding scale up to a maximum federal expected

family contribution (EFC) set annually by the Office of Higher Education and based on funding levels and the

number of eligible applicants. Need-Merit Scholarships are higher than Need-Based Grants and will be

awarded by the Office of Higher Education. This past year annual scholarships for students attending eligible

Connecticut institutions ranged from $1,500 to $5,000 for full-time enrollment and $800 to $1,000 for part-

time enrollment.

Objectives

Access — To qualify, students must first meet the same EFC range as those students who receive a GSP

Need-Based Grant, but unlike the GSP Need-Based Grant, the GSP Need-Merit Scholarship provides

Connecticut’s neediest, highest academic achieving students a guaranteed award amount which is portable

to any Connecticut college or university they choose to attend. In addition, their award is transferable.

Retention — These awards recognize the academic performance students achieve in high school.

Recognizing and rewarding academic performance is a nationally-proven enrollment and retention

strategy. Awards are renewable with satisfactory progress and continuing need. Awards are renewable

for 1.5 times the minimum time to graduation (3 years for a 2-year school; 6 years for a 4-year school).

Completion — For many students, the GSP Need-Merit Scholarship provides the final bridge to making

attainment of their degree a reality.

The Governor’s Need-Based Grant

The Governor's Need-Based Grant provides state aid to help Connecticut students that are least able to pay

for college. Individual institutions receive a funding allotment based on the number of needy Connecticut

students enrolled in the previous year. Awards are made on a sliding scale up to a maximum federal

expected family contribution (EFC) as the GSP Need-Merit Scholarship. This award matrix is set

annually by the Office of Higher Education. Based upon continued funding, students may use their

award at any Connecticut college or university, but unlike the GSP Need-Merit Scholarship, the Need-

Based Grant is not transferable from one institution to another. Students who receive a Governor’s Need-

Merit Scholarship are not eligible for a Governor’s Need-Based Grant. This past year, award amounts

ranged from $1,000 to $3,000 for full-time students depending on a student’s eligible EFC and $800 to

$1,000 for part-time enrollment.

Objectives

Access — To qualify, students must first meet the same EFC range as those students who receive a GSP

Need-Merit Scholarship. The grant provides for a fair and equitable student award by requiring eligible

institutions to award students with like EFC’s the same award amount.

Retention — Awards are renewable with satisfactory academic progress and continuing need. Awards are

renewable for 1.5 times the minimum time to graduation (3 years for a 2-year school; 6 years for a 4-year

school).

Completion — For many students, the GSP Need-Based Grant helps students achieve their degree.

The Academic Incentive Award

The Academic Incentive Award (AIA) was created to encourage retention and completion for any student who

receives the GSP Need-Based Grant with sufficient credits to complete an associate’s degree in two years or

bachelor’s degree in four years and exceeds the minimum satisfactory academic performance standard set by

the Office of Higher Education. This component was effective for new students (freshmen in fall 2013) who

were eligible in their second year of study. This past year, award amounts for full-time students were either

$1,000 or $1,200 depending on the student’s Grade Point Average (GPA).

Objectives

Retention — The Academic Incentive Award provides additional funding to recipients of the GSP Need-

Based Grant who are on pace academically to complete their degree in the required time frame with a

competitive GPA.

Completion — This award component encourages Connecticut’s neediest students to complete their

degree on-time with good academic achievement. Thus, avoiding additional loan indebtedness, college

costs and lost earnings.

Minority Teacher Incentive Grant Program


The Minority Teacher Incentive Program was launched in 1999 to encourage more minority students to

become teachers in Connecticut. Minority junior or senior college students enrolled in state teacher

preparation programs are nominated by their institutions to receive grants of up to $5,000 per year for

the last two years enrolled in college. Additionally, students who gain teaching positions in a

Connecticut public elementary, middle, or high school are eligible for loan reimbursement grants for up

to four years of $2,500 per year. Potentially, each qualified student and subsequent teacher may earn up

to $20,000 from the program in total.

Since its inception, the Minority Teacher Incentive Program has awarded nearly $5.3 million in grants

and $1.9 million in loan reimbursements to 649 potential teachers of whom 66 percent carried loans, 24

percent were transfers from community colleges and 34 percent were eligible for stipends and have

become teachers in Connecticut public schools. There are likely to be more program participants than

reported who are active teachers, but those without loans are not tracked at this time.

Program graduates are currently teaching in 22 Connecticut towns including Bridgeport, Hartford, New

Haven, and Waterbury. Current grant recipients are attending the University of Connecticut, the

Connecticut State University System, Connecticut College, the University of Hartford and Fairfield

University.

Response to Recommendations of the Program Review Investigations Committee Report: “The University of Connecticut’s Affordability to Students”

January 2016

Prepared & Submitted By

The University of Connecticut

51

In June 2013, the Program Review and Investigations Committee authorized a study to examine changes in the affordability of a UCONN education, with particular attention to in-state students. This study culminated in January 2014, when the committee released its final report. The analyses in the report led to the following conclusion: UCONN’s affordability generally compares favorably to other flagship universities and to its peers. The report included affordability recommendations aimed at:

assisting prospective students and their families in becoming better informed about UCONN’spricing;

determining the feasibility of implementing two possible changes at UCONN, one that would makepaying for college more predictable and the other to limit student debt;

allowing policymakers to know outcomes of UCONN’s financial aid policies and pricing patterns;

identifying how easily credits are transferred from other institutions; and,

reporting graduates’ employment outcomes.

The six recommendations are presented on the next two pages, and then are addressed individually on the subsequent pages.

PRIC’s specific recommendations for the University of Connecticut follow:

1. Regularly publish any scheduled or range of targeted increases in tuition and fees, as well as in roomand board (comprehensive cost), on its financial aid website;

2. Beginning in January 1, 2015, develop and provide a report to be included in the Office of HigherEducation’s system trends report, pursuant to C.G.S. Sec. 10a-57, that will indicate how its financialaid was awarded annually, and include at a minimum, separately for in- and out-of-state students:

A. The number and percent of, separately, all undergraduates and full-time, first-time freshmen,receiving need-based institutional aid;

B. The number and percent of, separately, all undergraduates and first-time, full-time freshmenreceiving merit-based institutional aid, and within residency categories, the percent who had nofinancial need, and the percent whose award exceeded financial need (excluding those with noneed), separately for each type of merit-based aid;

C. Typical financial aid packages by Expected Family Contribution quintile, including separatelistings by aid type (e.g., Pell grant, Connecticut state grants, Supplemental EducationalOpportunity Grant, need-based institutional aid, and federal loans by type);

D. And, amount of aid received by, separately, all undergraduates and first-time, full-time freshmen,by aid type (i.e., Pell grant, Connecticut state grants, SEOG, each type of merit-basedinstitutional aid separately, need-based institutional aid, federal loans by type, and other grants),including each aid type’s share of total dollars.

52

3. Beginning in Jan. 1, 2015, develop and provide an annual report on course transferability to beincluded in the Office of Higher Education’s system trends report, pursuant to C.G.S. Sec. 10a-57.The report shall be based on UConn’s analysis of course transferability for students entering afterfirst completing coursework at another college or university.

Specifically, the university shall report on: 1) the number of transfer students that applied, wereaccepted, and enrolled; 2) the number of transfer courses and credits applied for by enteringstudents; 3) the number and percent of courses and credits accepted for UConn credit towardgeneral education requirements, of those submitted; and 4) the number and percent of courses andcredits within a student’s major that are accepted as applicable to the UConn major requirements.These data should be reported according by institution for students transferring in from otherConnecticut public colleges and universities, as well as, in the aggregate, for students transferring infrom other states’ public higher education systems and independent colleges.

4. Should partner with the Board of Regents for Higher Education, the Department of Education, andDepartment of Labor in developing the P20 WIN system to enable the university to report on thesuccess of its graduates, by major, regarding employment and earnings.

Important Note: One-time, not annual, requests which we responded to, and are in included in last year’s report, are presented below.

Study the feasibility, estimate the cost, and consider the implications of implementing a program that guarantees, for each entering class: 1) tuition costs solely; or 2) the comprehensive cost of attendance (i.e., tuition, fees, and, room and board). The study shall consider guaranteeing those costs by: 1) freezing; or 2) fixing the increases to which each class will be subjected over four years. The university shall report its findings to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to higher education by Jan. 1, 2015; and

Study the feasibility, estimate the cost, and consider the implications of implementing a financial aid pledge program that serves to limit and/or eliminate student loans from financial aid packages for low and moderate income students. The university shall report its findings to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to higher education by Jan. 1, 2015.

UCONN Response to Each Recommendation

Recommendation 1

Recommendation: UCONN should regularly publish any scheduled or range of targeted increases in tuition and fees, as well as in room and board (comprehensive cost), on its financial aid website.

Response: Currently the Office of Student Financial Aid Services provides detailed information regarding Cost of Attendance, based on student status (Residency status, housing status, enrollment status, campus) on their website. In addition the information details the difference between costs that are billed (direct costs - tuition) and costs that will not be billed, but will be incurred by students

53

(indirect costs – books). To assist families in navigating the costs of attendance detailed charts and a financial aid worksheet are provided as tools.

We regularly review, seek input and update the information on our Financial Aid website, as well its navigability. We are planning on taking the following steps to make the information more easily accessible and understandable to students.

A. The data will be readily available from the home page of the Office of Student Financial AidServices. Students will not need to click to see the information.

B. The data provided will include language regarding the four-year tuition and fee plan.

C. The Office of Student Financial Aid Services provides a Net Price Calculator for the use ofprospective and current students and parents.

The University of Connecticut is pleased to provide this Net Price Calculator as a guide for earlyfinancial planning for college. This calculator will output a preliminary estimate of federal andinstitutional aid eligibility. The Net Price Calculator can be found on the following University ofConnecticut link: http://financialaid.uconn.edu/pricecalc.

The Financial Aid Shopping Sheet is described below:(https:www.ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/attach/ShoppingSheetTemplateGEN1326.pdf)(PDF) is a consumer tool that participating institutions use to notify students about theirfinancial aid package. It is a standardized form that simplifies the information that prospectivestudents receive about costs and financial aid so that they can easily compare institutions andmake informed decisions about where to attend school. The Shopping Sheet has been madeavailable for new UCONN students’ use beginning in the 2014-2015 award year.

Estimated Cost of Attendance

Your Cost of Attendance (COA) is the Office of Student Financial Aid Services’ estimate of your educational expenses for the aid year. Based on your enrollment, you will be billed each semester by the Bursar’s Office for tuition, fees, and on-campus housing and meal plans, if applicable.

Indirect costs such as books, off-campus housing, transportation and miscellaneous expenses are not payable to UConn and are estimated to establish your COA and to help you and your family plan for the overall cost of your education.

Students who are less-than-full-time will have certain expenses adjusted based on the number of credits for which they are enrolled, usually after the end of each semester’s add/drop period. Students who anticipate less-than-full-time enrollment should communicate with the Office of Student Financial Aid Services to ensure that their COA and financial aid packages are as accurate as possible.

Below are the estimated costs of attendance for the indicated academic year.

The Tuition and Fees component of the COA for the 2015-2016 Academic Year is estimated based on a percentage increase from the previous year.

It must be noted that 73% of merit scholarship recipients also have demonstrated financial need and were deemed eligible based on their completed FAFSA. Furthermore, the intrinsic value of merit scholarships is that they motivate achievement, providing high school students with incentive to

58

excel and be rewarded for their hard work. Attracting high-achieving students has a domino effect, by attracting quality professors who convey knowledge to students and bring in research dollars. That builds a solid academic reputation which draws more students, attracts donors and helps us in connecting with proud alumni.

UCONN is an essential economic driver for the state. We continue to provide a solid return on investment, both financially and in terms of quality of life. Over the past two decades, our substantial growth in academic quality has been accompanied by substantial growth in diversity. We are committed to the goals of a great university: providing all with access to the American Dream, advancing learning, preserving academic quality, driving innovation, promoting engaged citizenship, and facilitating cultural awareness.

It is important to note that merit aid has been critical to UConn’s efforts to keep Connecticut’s outstanding students in state for their college experiences. Once again, this year’s incoming freshman class was the most academically qualified and most diverse freshman class enrolled at the University. We are proud of our average SAT of 1234 for Fall 2014 that reflects our position as one of the nation’s public top-tier research institutions. UConn has also increasingly become the destination for valedictorians and salutatorians, with 169 joining the ranks of the Huskies this year. The majority of these students are Connecticut residents, many of whom receive the UConn Presidential Scholars Award. This year’s incoming freshmen also include 505 students enrolling in the highly selective Honors Program, the largest number of students to date to enroll in a single year. Finally, the new students also include a freshmen class that’s by far the most diverse in UConn’s history, with one-third (33.8 percent) of its members representing minority groups. Merit aid played a key role in making all of this possible.

Merit aid is also an essential part of Next Generation Connecticut –a focused, 10-year program to expand critical science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) academic and research programs at UConn. Merit aid, if provided in annual state appropriations, will allow the University to attract hundreds more high-achieving STEM students each year who will fill workforce shortages in the engineering and technology sectors and drive innovation and job growth to enhance Connecticut’s long-term economic growth.

Recommendation 3

Recommendation: Beginning in January 1, 2015, UCONN shall develop and provide an annual report on course transferability to be included in the Office of Higher Education’s system trends report, pursuant to C.G.S. Sec. 10a-57. The report shall be based on UCONN’s analysis of course transferability for students entering after first completing coursework at another college or university.

Response: UCONN is proud of its long standing history of attracting transfer students from the state's community colleges. They comprise 35% of our transfer student population. We collaborated with the community college system to develop the Guaranteed Admission Program (GAP) that assures their student’s admission to UCONN if they earn a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average and are awarded an associate degree in an approved academic program.

In November 2015, UConn announced a new collaboration with Connecticut's Community Colleges in an effort to further enhance affordability and access. The President to President Scholarship will provide a scholarship to students transferring to UConn from any Connecticut Community College via the Guaranteed Admissions Program (GAP) in the amount of $4000/year for two years of study. This initiative was a result of a roundtable discussion among the presidents of all campuses under the CT Board of Regents and UConn, where issues of transferability and affordability were discussed. Recent completion statistics for GAP students at UConn suggest that completion rates for these students are comparable to those of the entering Storrs Freshmen cohort, which are among the highest at public universities nationally.

In addition, UCONN welcomes transfers from the Connecticut State University System and private colleges and universities in Connecticut. It also should be noted that the vast majority of students transferring from out-of-state institutions are Connecticut residents coming home. With regard to transferability of courses and course credits from the community colleges to the University of Connecticut, it should be noted that nearly 80% of these transfer courses and credits are accepted.

Note: GAP (Guaranteed Admission Program) students are included in the above table. GAP is an agreement between the CT Community College System and UCONN designed for transfer students who enroll in a Liberal Arts transfer program at one of the state’s 12 community colleges. Students who plan to continue their studies to earn a bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences, Agriculture and Natural Resources or Business are guaranteed admission to UCONN once the associate degree has been earned, appropriate courses have been completed, and minimum grades and requirements for the selected program have been achieved.

Table 4C shows the number of transfer credits applied for by entering students; and the number and percent of credits accepted for UCONN credit toward general education requirements, of those submitted; and the number and percent of credits within a student’s major that are accepted as applicable to the UCONN major requirements. These data are reported according by institution for students transferring in from other Connecticut public colleges and universities, as well as, in the aggregate, for students transferring in from other states’ public higher education systems and independent colleges.

Recommendation 4

Recommendation: UCONN should partner with the Board of Regents for Higher Education, the Department of Education, and Department of Labor in developing the P20 WIN system to enable the university to report on the success of its graduates, by major, regarding employment and earnings.

Response: UCONN is a full participant in the P20 WIN system. At this point, there is nothing pending to hold us back. Our Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness (OIRE) is currently in the process of submitting the first part of the relevant systematic and comprehensive data about our graduates by major, employment status and earnings.
