The College Success Grants program focuses on empowering more individuals to achieve post-secondary credentials, aiming to support students in completing a certificate or obtaining a two- or four-year degree from an accredited college or university, thereby facilitating a successful transition into the middle class. The grants are aimed at launching, enhancing, or scaling projects that provide vital assistance to students throughout their academic and early career journeys. Supported initiatives often include coaching and mentoring, career preparation, emergency grants, mental health counseling, parent workshops, and alumni networking. Additionally, efforts like seeding student emergency funds, capacity-building for higher education institutions, and the development of career success resources are among the initiatives funded. The program places a strong emphasis on regular outcome measurements, particularly in areas of college persistence, graduation rates, career readiness, and successful transition into post-college careers.
