Latest OnTrack News
In the Spring of 2022, OnTrack gave out its fourth round of scholarships to seniors who used the OnTrack program. These seniors completed the OnTrack program and filled out our application, including a creative submission about mentorship. We're thrilled that we had another year of great submissions from students with diverse backgrounds.
The winners were from all over the country, attending schools/programs in 10 different states.
We had the 17 winners send in pictures and videos and the Uncommon Individual Foundation’s Media team put together this edited version showcasing the recipients:
2021-2022 School Year Data
- Around 4,000 students used the online version of OnTrack this year
- The satisfaction rate of our partners stayed consistent at 4.7/5
- This was our fourth year using questions developed with School Frontiers to better test how our program helps students
-
- Over the four grade levels, we asked 40 knowledge-based questions:
-
We then looked at students who completed both the pre- and post-surveys
- Students’ aggregate score went up for every single question we asked.
- On average, their scores went up by almost 35 percentage points per question.
-
That means that if 45% of students got an answer right on the pre-survey, then on average, 80% of those same students would get it right on the post-survey.
- Along with the hard data, here are some quotes from students who used OnTrack this year:
-
- “This is a wonderful thing you guys have. I'm the eldest child in a 1st-generation, low-income Vietnamese family, and my parents haven't gone to college, so I basically have to go to college. Before taking part in OnTrack and Upward Bound, I was too nervous to research about college, and it often overwhelmed me. While I am still nervous while thinking about college, at least I have OnTrack's resources at hand for me to look back on. Thank you.”
- “I adored seeing the motion graphics. It kept me engaged to watch the OnTrack videos fully. Moreover, seeing new instructors who teach different and valuable lessons was heartfelt as I saw diversity within the team.”
- “Very informative when going into your senior year. I'm considering things I didn't think of because of OnTrack.”
