Description:
The purpose of this program is to increase the number of disadvantaged, low-income college students, first-generation college students, and college students with disabilities who successfully complete a program of study at the postsecondary level. Support services provided to these students should increase the retention and graduation rates for these categories of students and facilitate their transfer from two-year to four-year colleges and universities.
Support services must also foster an institutional climate that supports the success of students who are limited English proficient, students from groups that are historically under-represented in postsecondary education, students with disabilities, students who are homeless children and youths, students who are in foster care or are aging out of the foster care system, and other disconnected students.
