Student Support Initiatives

The College has placed an emphasis on retention and completion. Completion is also a focus of the national agenda. The area of Student Support Initiatives has worked closely with students who are returning to the College on probation after a leave of absence and with 24 credit hour students (students who have not completed high school or a GED). These students often have poor academic habits which resulted in their initial failure or inability to complete high school or a GED. Moreover, many of these students are no longer eligible for financial aid as a result of their previous academic history.  Data reveals that these students are being retained at a high rate and enjoying higher GPA’s.  The funding obtained has enabled students to cover academic costs that have resulted from void left from the lack of financial aid. The $20,000 will result in the continuation of the investment that has been made in ensuring the success of these students.
