The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Iowa State University Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program from the perspective of its participants. Specifically, the study evaluates the extent of support the program provides to participants, reports participants' perceptions of their McNair experiences, and identifies how the program contributes to student success from the point of view of the participants. All participants in the McNair Program were invited to be participants in the study. Twenty-three out of 33 of the 1999-2000 academic year program participants volunteered to be studied. Using audio-recorded interviews of individual participants, observations, and document analysis, qualitative data were gathered and several trends were found. Findings suggest that the program did provide participants with the financial, emotional, and academic support they needed to adapt to the college environment.
