Abstract
In 2021, Arizona State University’s Bridging Success program underwent an evaluation to determine efficacy. The findings reveal a positive influence on foster care alumni's undergraduate degree completion. The evaluation process identified where data collection could be improved to provide a more robust data set in the future and recognized the value of the evaluation as a first step in establishing best practices. This presentation will discuss the evaluation process, findings, and practical implications shaping future best practices.
