Project Overview
To help Lumina Foundation and states participating in the Adult Promise initiative make ongoing implementation decisions and uncover lessons for future work to support adult learners in postsecondary education.
Lumina Foundation sought assistance from Mathematica to act as an implementation and outcomes evaluation partner for its state-based Adult Promise investments. Mathematica is conducting a multifaceted evaluation that provides timely formative feedback to Lumina about implementation, field-facing analyses of successful approaches and challenges across grantee states, and a summative analysis of student enrollment and completion outcomes.
