Challenges and Opportunities

Challenges to underrepresented freshmen recruitment
 In Indiana: of 4,380 senior SAT test takers in June 2007 statewide, 123
(2.8%) underrepresented students qualified for honors.
 In Indiana and select metropolitan areas in NY, NJ, MI, KY, OH, IL, MO:
of 18,713 students from 1,504 (8.04%) underrepresented students
qualified.
 These are highly sought after students nationwide who routinely receive
full ride scholarships from in and out of state schools – competition is
fierce.

Opportunities
 Continue work with Admissions Center as well as UCOL and other units
involved in outreach to underrepresented populations.

increased funding made available for Continuing Student Scholarships.
