Friday Replay: USDOE “Raise the Bar” Completion Grant Program

With Guest: Catherine Graham, National College Attainment Network

On August 11, US Secretary of Education Cardona announced a $5 million grant program to support the College Completion Fund for post-secondary success. The program - which was drastically scaled down from the original Build Back Better policy agenda - targets HBCUs, Tribal Colleges, and Minority Serving Institutions to invest in data driven reforms that will improve completion rates. On the latest episode of “Office Hours”, we were joined by Catherine Brown from the National College Attainment Network to discuss the program and the opportunities for institutions seeking grant funds.
