Completion Grants

In addition to helping students stay enrolled and graduate from college, the completion grant project catalyzed changes to institutional policies that were hindering student success.

This project has resulted in campus-level changes to drop-for-nonpayment policies and registration holds; campus efforts to centralize emergency aid information and application materials; increased coordination across student success units to identify and support students in need; and has catalyzed additional campus fundraising for completion grant resources.

Staff at participating universities also valued the ability to collaborate with their colleagues at other institutions as they sought ways to deepen the project’s impact.
