Study Of Educational Experience

---

My name is Helena Pike Welch, and I am a doctoral candidate at Capella University conducting a research study for my dissertation on the educational experiences of academic success of children of incarcerated parents.

The criteria for the study includes both men and women, ages 18-50 who:

• Are a high school graduate
• Had a parent who was incarcerated some time during grades K-12 (length of incarceration is not important)
• Are able to tell the researcher about your educational experience during the time your parent was incarcerated
• Are able to give the researcher an estimate of your high school GPA
• Had an estimated high school GPA of 3.0 or higher

If you fit these criteria, your participation is requested to learn more about your educational success while having a parent that was incarcerated.

I will conduct face-to-face, audio recorded interviews via FreeConferenceCall.com, Skype, or Google Hangouts. The interviews are not expected to last more than 30 to 60 minutes, and there are a few short demographics questions that you must be willing to answer (ie., age, gender, estimated GPA, etc.). To participate in this study, please contact me at helenawelch.capella@gmail.com

Compensation: To compensate you for your time, I will email each participant a $10 Amazon eGift card upon interview completion.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in helping me to learn more about your educational experiences that led to academic success. 

**The researcher’s contact telephone number will be provided to study participants.
