Grant to help community college students graduate

City College could become one of the colleges assisted by a $35 million grant program through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, led by the wife of Vice President Joe Biden.

Jill Biden said Oct. 4 that the Completion by Design program will award competitive community colleges with grants to fund new approaches to accommodate today’s students. Each Completion by Design program will address financial aid counseling, advising and course scheduling. A successful aspect of this program is the rearranging of core-class scheduling to make it easier for working students to take them.

“I have high hope for this,” said Sandra Kirschenmann, Los Rios Foundation vice chancellor of Resource Development and Planning. “I think they have done a really nice job of pulling together all this information about interventions that could make a big difference and getting them out to colleges for their consideration.”
