AACHE'S MISSION
Arizona Association of Chicanos for Higher Education (AACHE) Consisting of nine chapters, AACHE is a statewide Chicano/Latino/Hispano non-profit organization. Founded in 1983, AACHE was established to promote equitable educational and employment opportunities within Arizona colleges and universities. This is actualized through faculty recruitment and retention efforts, scholarship programs, MEChA/Asociacion Latina Estudiantil (A.L.E.) leadership workshops, community involvement, and the annual AACHE conference. AACHE provides a forum for discussion of Chicanos/Latinos/Hispanos higher education issues and identifies workable solutions to these issues.

Title: The ADELANTE Program
Performance Based Scholarships and the impact on Hispanic males in higher education
Presenter: Ms. Leticia Menchaca, Vice Pres. Student Development, Pima--West
Session Description: Pima Community College has launched The Adelante Performance Award Program, a multi-site Performance-Based Scholarship (PBS) Demonstration conducted by the non-profit research company MDRC. The purpose of the study is to determine whether PBS can positively affect academic outcomes in Hispanic males. This presentation will assess the impact on achievement and persistence at Pima Community College and will provide valuable guidance to educational institutions with high numbers of Hispanics. Depending upon the outcome, this award program may serve as a model for national higher education policy.
Learning Outcomes:
Participants will gain an understanding of the distinct issues facing Hispanic males in higher education today and the barriers that effect persistence and retention.
Based on the statistical research presented, participants will evaluate whether a PBS program could be successfully implemented on their campus.
