This volume summarizes the final report (MR-998-EDU) on RAND's three-year evaluation of the Learn and Serve America Higher Education (LSAHE) program. It discusses the major activities and accomplishments of the LSAHE-supported programs; the impacts of LSAHE on students, communities, and institutions; and the returns on the public assessment in LSAHE. It also presents the main conclusions of the evaluation: that LSAHE was highly successful in serving communities and had mixed success in promoting student development and institutional change, and that even though expenditures exceeded the value of LSAHE to communities, value increased each year, suggesting that long-term positive returns may occur.
