Abstract	Five years ago Alaska's high school graduating class of 2011 became the first with the opportunity to accept the state's "invitation to excellence," the Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS), to pursue their postsecondary studies. Eligible graduates could receive up to $4,755 per year for up to four years to study at a participating in-state program. Most could pursue either a college degree or a vocational certificate, depending on their high school performance, and had up to six years to make use of the scholarship. Since its inception, over 12,000 public high school graduates from across the state have become eligible to receive the scholarship, with over 5,000 having taken advantage of it. APS-eligible graduates and scholarship recipients are a diverse group, coming from all regions of the state, and from every ethnic group, though not all are represented equally. Nearly one-third of AY15 graduates were eligible to receive the scholarship to pursue a postsecondary certificate, and one-quarter could use the APS to pursue a degree. Of those eligible to use the APS to pursue a degree, over 40% have done so the fall following their graduation from high school. APS-eligible graduates continue to persist in their educational programs at higher rates than their ineligible peers, whether enrolled at an in-state or an out-of-state institution. And, when high school students did not pursue postsecondary studies immediately after their graduation, those APS-eligible individuals were four times more likely to simply delay their enrollment versus foregoing postsecondary studies entirely. APS recipients at the University of Alaska, where over 98% of recipients attended in fall 2015, have a history of taking more credit hours, requiring fewer developmental courses, and persisting in their studies at higher rates than their non-recipient peers. The charts and tables which follow provide insights into the APS-- who became eligible to receive it, who made use of it, and how the performance of APS recipients compared to their non-eligible classmates. The report's layout approximates prior years' reports to aid in comparing the information across years, with key points highlighted in the bulleted narratives.
