Details for Completing the Survey

The Project KEEP US online survey has been closed, as the data-collection phase of the research study is now complete.

Eligible Participants: All undergraduate and graduate students who are enrolled/matriculated in a degree program at one of the area colleges and universities listed below and attend classes on that campus are eligible to participate in the Project KEEP US research study.

$500 Prize: All eligible participants who participate in the Project KEEP US study by completing the online survey (posted on this site) or telephone interview (conducted at random) can enter at the end of the survey/interview to win $500. A random drawing will be conducted among those eligible participants who complete the study and chose to provide their name and contact information to determine who will receive the $500. Only one entry per eligible participant, and the study participant must meet all eligibility rules in order to receive the prize. Names and contact information provided for the drawing are stored separately and used only for that purpose. Chances of winning are based on the total number of eligible participants who complete the study and elect to enter the drawing.

Study Scope: Participants are asked to provide information about where they want to live after completing their college/university education and to rate location options provided. The study also asks about decision-making preferences, demographic data, current course of study and career plans. All responses are confidential and viewed only as statistical totals. Names and contact information provided for the drawing are stored separately and used only for that purpose.
