Abstract	Minnesota's Intervention for College Attendance Program (ICAP) is a program of competitive grants awarded to postsecondary institutions, professional organizations and community-based organizations. Funded programs focus on increasing the access and success of groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education by strengthening their preparation and aptitude for postsecondary success. With the need to have Minnesota's students prepared for higher education and employment in occupations that require postsecondary training that ranges from sub-baccalaureate credentials--associate degrees and high-quality certificates--to higher level postsecondary degrees, this report provides information on the outcomes of ICAP funding for fiscal years 2013 and 2014. Among the key findings from the report are: (1) Program focus on enhancing success in core curriculum by strengthening academic preparation was a determinant in postsecondary enrollment and success for ICAP students; (2) Rigorous academic coursework (honors, dual enrollment, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate) beyond the high school core curriculum enhanced college readiness/mastery of college level content for ICAP students; (3) ICAP programs that targeted strengthening postsecondary enrollment through ACT preparation and assessment increased student ACT scores and profile for college admission. The average ACT score increase for these programs ranged from 0.85 to 5.99; and (4) The high school graduation rate for ICAP seniors (90% in 2013 and 95% in 2014) continues to be higher than the state's four-year graduation rate for public school students. While there is considerable local and national focus on improving secondary and postsecondary outcomes for students underrepresented in the education attainment pipeline, the targeted ICAP funding has enhanced academic attainment to allow postsecondary participation and workforce preparation for students supported by ICAP.
