| Whakarāpopotonga: | The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there were relationships between the variables race, sex, and the academic achievement of Federal Work-Study students, during the spring semester of the 1998–99 school year. Specifically, the goal was to determine whether there were significantly different grade point averages, based on the race and gender among Federal Work-Study students or were these differences related to only academically related factors. The study employed a quantitative methodology to examine Federal Work-Study students who attend a large, public mid-western university. The results of the study indicated that certain groups who worked in the Federal Work-Study program had significantly different grade point averages than others who worked in the Federal Work-Study program. (1) African-American students who worked in the Federal Work-Study Program had lower grade point averages than other races who worked in the Federal Work-Study Program. (2) Female students who worked in the Federal Work-Study Program had higher grade point averages than males who worked in the Federal Work-Study Program. (3) Upperclassmen who worked in the Federal Work-Study Program had higher grade point averages than Freshmen who worked in the Federal Work-Study Program. (4) There was not enough evidence to suggest that the multi-race category of Hispanic students, American Indian/Alaskan Native students, and Asian/Pacific students had significantly different grade point averages than others who worked in the Federal Work-Study Program. (5) There was not enough evidence to suggest that grade point averages for blue-collar workers who worked in the Federal Work-Study program were significantly different than the grade point averages for white-collar workers for students who worked in the Federal Work-Study Program. A discussion concerning the creation of programs to retain minority students followed the results. |
