There is a need for additional staffing in financial aid and Student Services Central. The additional staff will align with facilitating student success, growth, and goal completion. The additional staffing will help with logistics, responding promptly to emails and phone calls, and giving additional support to the Newburg campus.
EM will work with the grant's office to secure funding for a year-round financial aid lab. Staffing the lab will assist with FAFSAs being completed in a timely fashion. Students often wait until the last minute and hurriedly submit incomplete applications. This action will assist with student retention and goal completion.
Enrollment management will work with and partner with community-based organizations and houses of worship. These partnerships should increase enrollment targets.
