A Synthesis

Prepared by Kristin K. Medhurst DoDEA Research and Evaluation Branch

At the end of SY 1998-99, each high school in the Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) and the Domestic Dependents Elementary and Secondary Schools (DDESS) was asked to complete a report indicating students’ plans after graduation for the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Headquarters. Entitled, “Post-secondary Plans and Financial Aid, 1999 Graduates” this summary provides Headquarters with an indication of graduating seniors’ plans after graduation. It also includes information about the colleges and universities to which DoDEA students have been accepted and the number and amounts of scholarships these students have earned.

The findings in this report are a synthesis of the information provided by the schools through their summary reports. The report will show the numbers of students choosing post-secondary education (either a 4-year, 2-year or vocational college/university), the monies awarded to many of these students, and the colleges and universities they have chosen to attend. The graduates of 1999 have chosen almost 700 different colleges/universities to attend, including Ivy League schools and the Military Academies as well as many other high ranking colleges and universities. Many of these students have been awarded scholarship and financial aid monies to attend these prestigious institutions. Almost $30 million has been awarded to these graduates. For the first time, the schools were asked to report the number of National Merit Scholars they had. This graduating class can boast of 12 scholars.

Throughout this report, data will be disaggregated by the two systems within DoDEA, the Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) and the Defense Dependents Elementary and Secondary Schools (DDESS). Within DoDDS, there are two Areas, DoDDS-Europe and DoDDS-Pacific; data for these two areas will be broken out as well. Numbers of students less than 5 will not be reported to protect the privacy of individual students. Where applicable, this report will also provide the data from the past three years, 1997, 1998 and 1999.

Plans After Graduation

Graduates of DoDEA schools have many plans after graduation. The majority of graduates plan to enroll in a college or university which is not unlike other graduates across the United States. In a recent study conducted by the Shell Oil Company, a survey of 1,000 randomly selected high school students across the United States were surveyed about their life as a teen-ager. This study revealed that 62% of the students surveyed reported that they were “totally sure” of continuing their education immediately after high school. Within that 62%, “a significant majority reported that they will attend a four-year institution.” (Shell Oil Company, 1999, p.3). In another study conducted by the National Library of Education, a department within the Department of Education, it was reported that the percentage of college graduates who intended to enroll in a four-year college/university was 54% in 1992. This was an increase of over 60% since 1972. For those students who report their intention to enroll in a 4-year, 2-year or vocational school, the percentage was 73% in 1992 (Boesel, David, 1999, p. 5).

In yet another study conducted by the Department of Education National Education Statistics Division, the percentage of high school graduates who were enrolled in college the October following their graduation has grown steadily since 1972. According to this report, 67% of the high school graduates in 1997 were enrolled in college the October following graduation. In 1972 this number was 49% (U.S. Department of Education, 1999).

In comparison with the numbers shown in these national studies of high school graduates’ intentions to pursue their education, it is apparent that DoDEA students exceed the national percentage of students intending to enroll in college following their high school graduation. Of the 2,951 students reported to have graduated from DoDEA schools in 1999, 2,259 graduates (76%) intend to enroll in post- secondary education, either a 4-year, 2-year or vocational college/university. Within this graduating class, 1,691 students report their intention to enroll in a four-year college or university; this accounts for over half of the graduating class. Those graduates not intending to enroll in a college/university will continue on to either a job, to enlist in the military or go into an apprenticeship position. Some graduates had not decided what they will do after graduation when these data were collected.

Table 1 shows the plans of all DoDEA graduates for three graduating classes, 1997, 1998, and 1999. Note that the total number of graduates has decreased from 1997 to 1999 due to decreased enrollment or closing of schools associated with the military draw down. However, it is clear that the percentage of students choosing each option remains stable across the three-year period.

Table 1 Post-secondary Plans of DoDEA Graduates for 1997, 1998, and 1999 Percentage of Graduates Choosing Each Option

Post-secondary Plans 1997 1998 1999 N=3,117 N=3,058 N=2,951 4-year College/University 59% 62% 57% 2-year College/University 14% 15% 17% Vocational School 3% 2% 2% Job 10% 9% 9% Military 9% 9% 10% Apprenticeship <1% <1% <1% Undecided 5% 7% 6%

2 The plans for the 1999 graduating seniors from each of the school systems is shown in Table 2. Note that the percentages are very similar to those found in Table 1. The numbers in Table 2 indicate that a larger percentage of 1999 DoDDS-Pacific graduates plan to enroll in a 2-year college/university than either DDESS or DoDDS-Europe, while a larger percentage of DoDDS-Europe graduates are still undecided about their plans. Within DDESS, larger percentages of graduates plan to enroll in either a four-year college/university or vocational school than do DoDDS graduates.

Table 2 Post-secondary Plans of 1999 DoDEA Graduates

The data in Table 3 show the breakout of the graduates’ plans by DoDDS-Europe, DoDDS- Pacific, DDESS and by gender. In DDESS, the percentage of females planning to enroll in a 4-year college/university is 11 percentage points higher than males; males from DDESS chose to find a job or enlist in the military at a higher rate than females. In both DDESS and DoDDS-Pacific, a larger percentage of females chose a traditional education route (4-year, 2-year and vocational college/university) than did the males. In DoDDS-Europe, males and females do not differ significantly on their choices for post-secondary plans. Table 3 Post-secondary Plans of 1999 DoDEA Graduates By Gender

3 The information provided in Table 4 shows the numbers of students choosing each option after graduation for each school district within DoDEA. As shown in previous tables with the percentages of students, the largest numbers of 1999 graduates reported their intent to enroll in post-secondary education in the Fall 1999. Note that numbers less than five are not reported to protect the privacy of individual students. Numbers from Cuba were not obtained prior to the deadline for including them in this report.

4 Schools were also asked to report the ethnic background of the students planning to enroll in post- secondary education (4-year, 2- year or vocational college/university). Table 5 shows these data. To protect the privacy of individuals, those cells in the table where fewer than five students were counted have been designated by “less than five.” Therefore, totals can not be provided. It should be noted that students within each category are attending post-secondary education.

National Merit Scholars

For the first time, DoDEA requested that the schools report the number of National Merit Scholar Semifinalists in their graduating class of 1999. There were 12 National Merit Scholar Semifinalists in DoDEA; three were reported within the DDESS system, three within DoDDS-Europe and six within DoDDS-Pacific. Furthermore, there were six female and six male semifinalists. To protect the privacy of these students, these data will not be reported by district or school.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

DoDEA graduates have a history of earning millions of dollars in scholarship and financial aid monies. The graduates of 1999 were no different. In all, there was almost $30 million worth of scholarships and financial aid awarded to the DoDEA graduates of 1999. This is almost 3 million more dollars than was awarded in 1997 or 1998. In all of DoDEA, 1,628 students were reported to have earned these monies. Table 6 shows the breakdown of the scholarship and financial aid award monies by district. The N counts in Table 6 represent the instances of awards and do not reflect the number of individuals receiving scholarship/financial aid monies. In other words, one student may have been awarded a military

5 scholarship, state scholarship and local scholarship. This students’ awards would be counted as three awards, not as one individual.

Military awards continue to bring the largest dollar amounts. More than $18.8 million was awarded to 1999 graduates in both ROTC and Military Academy Scholarships.

Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 show the percentage that these dollar amounts represent within each system.

The dollar amounts shown in Table 8 indicate that the DoDEA graduates of 1999 have been awarded the more for scholarships and financial aid than either the past two years. Typically, the most money is awarded through military academy scholarships and ROTC scholarships. The amount of ROTC scholarship money awarded to DoDEA graduates as well as the Special scholarship category has increased since 1997, while the amount of monies awarded for Apprenticeships has decreased sharply.

9 The monies awarded to DDESS graduates in 1999 were very similar to those amounts awarded in 1997 and 1998. Again, the largest amounts awarded are from the military scholarships, which is similar to the overall DoDEA results. State scholarships were also large money awards for the DDESS graduates. However, the amount of money reported for the Grants/Financial Aid category dropped significantly for 1999. The total number of financial awards given to DDESS graduates is 240. These data are shown below in Table 9.

The largest amount of money awarded to DoDDS-Europe graduates was also from the military institutions. Combined, the Military Academies and the ROTC scholarships account for more than half of the money awarded to these graduates. This appears to be the trend for the past two years as well. See Table 10. There were 896 instances of financial awards in DoDDS-Europe in 1999.

10 DoDDS-Pacific graduates also earn the largest amounts of their monies through military and state scholarships. See Table 11. Although the ROTC and local scholarships have grown over the two year period, state scholarships have fallen. The total amount of money awarded continues to grow, however. For DoDDS-Pacific, 492 instances of financial awards were reported.

Colleges and Universities

With all the money DoDEA graduates are awarded, it is no surprise that many of them are admitted into prestigious colleges and universities across the United States and around the world. Students from the class of 1999 plan to enroll in over 690 different colleges and universities, including Ivy League schools, the Armed Forces Academies and other high ranking schools such as Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, Baylor University, Rice University and others. The school that was most popular with the 1999 DoDEA graduates is the University of Maryland and its branches around the world. Over 180 students from DoDEA plan to enroll in the University of Maryland system this fall. The following is a list of schools that DoDEA graduates plan to attend in Fall 1999. The number next to some schools represents the number of students reporting to enroll in that school. Numbers less than 5 are not reported to protect the privacy of individual students. Appendices B, C and D list the schools chosen by DDESS, DoDDS-Europe and DoDDS-Pacific graduates respectively.

18 Limitations of this Study

This Post-secondary Plans and Financial Aid report has been published for three years in this format. The data for this report are collected in the spring of the reporting year with a form (see Appendix A) which specifies those data to be reflected in this report. High school counselors have been requested to report the number of graduating seniors and their plans after graduation as well as report the amount of money these students earn in terms of scholarships, grants and financial aid. The data are reported as aggregate numbers and can not be individualized to the student. Thus, it can not be determined through this report how many of these students were enrolled in DoDEA schools for more than their Senior year in high school.

Furthermore, the data collected on this form indicate students’ plans to enroll, not whether they have actually enrolled. This type of information is being collected through another study, the DoDEA Longitudinal Study: Graduates and Transfer Students, which will track DoDEA graduates for a four-year period.

The current reporting format does not allow for checks and balances. For instance, it is unclear whether the number of scholarships earned is by unique individuals or if the numbers represent instances of awards. Thus, one student could be represented multiple times, if this student had been awarded multiple scholarships/financial aid monies in various categories. The accuracy and ease of data collection and reporting could be improved by using World Wide Web-based application. When data is entered, calculations are done automatically and the database will not accept numbers that do not comply with the data entry “rules.” This type of application is being pursued for this data collection as well as others.

It should be noted, however, that even with these limitations, this report shows strong indications that students who graduate from DoDEA schools and districts plan to pursue higher education. They are also awarded large amounts of scholarship/grant money for post-secondary education and pursue their education at a wide variety of national and international colleges and universities.

Summary

The class of 1999 was no different from the classes of 1997 or 1998 in respect to the choices they made for post-secondary plans. The majority of DoDEA graduates pursue their post-secondary education by enrolling in a 4-year, 2-year or vocational school. Approximately 10% of the graduates find a job and another 10% enlist in the military. These percentages remain stable across DDESS, DoDDS-Europe and DoDDS-Pacific.

The DoDEA class of 1999 has already proven itself to be high achievers. They have been awarded almost $30 million in scholarship and financial aid monies; they can boast of 12 National Merit Scholars and planning to attend more than 690 different colleges and universities. The colleges/universities include Ivy League, Military Academies and many well-known, top tier stateside and international institutions. It should be noted that the wide variety of colleges/universities listed in this report is quite different from what would typically be listed

19 from a stateside, non-DoDEA high school. Many times, their graduates stay within the bounds of their own state, with a few students venturing outside the state; very rarely do their graduates attend international schools. The worldwide nature of the DoDEA graduates’ choices reflects the international experience of their lives as a military/civilian dependent. These graduates are already well-prepared to step into the global community in which we now live.

Data Collection Forms

Department of Defense Education Activity Form 1: School Summary of Postsecondary Plans SY 1998-99

The following information is provided to clarify categories of aid and methods for determining reporting figures: a. GENERAL: The final report of scholarship/financial aid will be reported by total aid committed to students. The amounts reported in each category by students to counselors should be the amount of the award multiplied by the years of assistance as appropriate. b. DEFINITIONS: 1. Local Scholarships/Grants: These are defined as scholarships or other forms of financial assistance awarded to students by an organization established at the local installation or community level. 2. State or Institutional Scholarships: Any form of scholarship awarded by a specific institution or by a state for the purpose of attending a state institution. 3. Military Academy Appointments: The value to be used in reporting an appointment to any of the military academies (including U.S. Merchant Marine) is $250,000. This represents the value of the appointment for the entire 4 years. 4. ROTC: The value to be used in reporting any ROTC scholarship award for 4 yesrs is $70,000. Please note any ROTC award of less than 4 years. 5. Athletic: Any financial aid award given as a result of demonstrated skill in any athletic endeavor by a state or specific institution. Any local athletic awards should be listed in the local category. 6. Special Scholarships: Any financial aid award given a student based on the students’ interest, ability , descent or relationship. Example: musician’s scholarships, Daughters of the Cincinnati. 7. Vocational Education Scholarships: Financial aid awarded by a state or institution to pursue a specific curriculum or vocational program. 8. Financial Aid/Grants: Loans, grants, work-study, fellowships, awarded by a state or specific institution. Local awards should be reported in the local scholarships/grants category. 9. Apprenticeships: Training in occupations requiring a wide range of skills and knowledge. It involves planned, day-by-day training on the job and experience under proper supervision. 10. Totals: This should reflect totals of columns 1-9 for male/female and dollar amounts. c. OTHER: Figures reported in each category should represent the sum of awards multiplied by the number of years appropriate to the individual type of scholarship/aid. d. CATEGORIES: Students should use the main source for the award in determining the scholarship/aid category.
