This Study Snapshot highlights key findings from a study that examines Oregon's statewide promise program. Representatives from Oregon's Higher Education Coordinating Commission and K-12 state and local education agencies worked with the Regional Educational Laboratory Northwest to conduct this study of Oregon Promise's reach and impact in its first two years among 2015/16 and 2016/17 public high school seniors. The study used student data from K-12 public schools, Oregon Promise applications, and postsecondary records to describe whom the program reached and served from Oregon public high schools. Oregon stakeholders can use the findings to better understand the implications of changing the Oregon Promise program requirements for the number and demographic composition of applicants and recipients and to consider the program's future based on its positive impacts.
