Abstract: CUNY ASAP is a three-year program offering comprehensive student support, financial aid, and structured pathways. The program has served over 100,000 students since 2007 and been replicated across seven states. ASAP's primary goal is to increase the completion of college associate degrees. Specifically, the comprehensive intervention is expected to change students' community college experience through increased academic support and career guidance, the promotion of full-time enrollment, reduced financial barriers, stronger peer connections, and increased satisfaction. These changes, in turn, are expected to improve students' academic outcomes, culminating in increased associate's degree attainment. Evaluations show it significantly increases three-year graduation rates, with an 18-percentage point rise at the City University of New York (CUNY) and 16-percentage points in Ohio. This study will assess the program's long-term impacts on education, employment, and earnings over 10+ years, marking the first analysis of its labor market outcomes in CUNY, an important complement to the recent examination of 6-year earnings impact in Ohio. Moreover, by combining data from both CUNY ASAP and Ohio ASAP evaluations, the present study aims to provide precise estimates of ASAP's effects, explore variations across colleges and subgroups, and update research on the program's economic benefits.
