Grant Summary
$50,000 over 7 months for the New England Board of Higher Education, in partnership with the independent college associations of three states – Connecticut Conference of Independent Colleges, Association of Independent Colleges and Universities in Massachusetts, Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Rhode Island – to lay the groundwork for an admission transfer guarantee. This commitment assures acceptance at an independent nonprofit four-year institution for students graduating from a community college with associate degrees in the liberal arts. The overarching aim of the project is for students who meet eligibility criteria and are covered under the Transfer Guarantee to be able to transfer as juniors and be fully prepared to successfully complete a bachelor’s degree.
