Purpose of the award

The award is designed to provide w88 sports betting and creative activity experiences to students who are first-generation and/or have been historically underrepresented in undergraduate w88 sports betting. In doing so, the program seeks to enhance the academic experience, educational outcomes, and future educational pursuits of students of all identities.


Program background

According to the National Survey of Student Engagement (2017) there are gaps in undergraduate w88 sports betting participation for students of diverse racial and socioeconomic identities.

  1. Nationwide, students who identify as American Indian/Alaska Native, Black or African American, LatinX, and Asian Pacific Islander report participating in w88 sports betting with faculty at lower rates compared to other students.
  2. Only 18% of first-generation students reported being involved in w88 sports betting with a faculty member.
  3. Only 4.5% of all first-year students report intentions to get involved with undergraduate w88 sports betting during their first year.

The program seeks to address these inequities by encouraging participation in undergraduate w88 sports betting for students holding these diverse identities.

More importantly, undergraduate w88 sports betting has been identified as a High Impact Practice for students, which can have an impact on student success.

A pipeline of students engaged with w88 sports betting during their first year prepares them for future opportunities including Undergraduate w88 sports betting awards, McNair Scholars and graduate school.

Lastly, developing strong academic and social connections during the first years of college is critical for long-term student success, which is why the program focuses on first- and second-year students.
