What is the Title III Grant?
(Strengthening Institutions Program)
| The Title III grant provides funding (1.9 million/5 years) and will allow us to work together on both classroom/teaching and learning initiative and student services/academic support services programs that are designed to improve student success. For example, learning communities, cooperative learning programs, supplemental instruction and a case management system are but only a few of the type of initiatives that are funded. Our Title III grant will allow us to continue the work that we have piloted with our Cedar Valley Achievers, a program that connects developmental students to an advisor, a Human Development course and tracking systems that allows us to learn more about and respond better to the needs of our students. |
| The Title III grant is designed to strengthen the institution and impact the following college challenges: rapidly increasing numbers of first time in college and developmental students, high drop-out rates and poor success rates in developmental and core courses, and inadequate services to provide students strategies for success. |
