This study examined the Success Boston program at Salem State University which aims to increase college completion among inner city youth. It analyzed data from 85 past participants in the program's Summer Bridge Academy, looking at factors like GPA, SAT scores, loan debt, retention rates, and more. The results found that a higher percentage of females than males achieved a GPA over 2.0 in both semesters. It also found that students with higher high school GPAs on average had less loan debt and higher GPAs after the first year. The study provides implications but notes limitations around sample size and recommends further research.
