Student Success, College Affordability

Student Success

October 06, 2021

This one section of the 9/29 – 10/05, MCFeed Newsletter

The Hechinger Report covers a proposal of $9 billion in federal funds that can be used to help with degree completion and retention. Higher education experts advocate that the money dedicated to college completion could be used to increase counseling services, fix remedial education policies, improve systems to re-enroll students, ease the transfer process, and create emergency funding for students in financial need. Tom Harnisch, vice president for government relations at the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association, says, the investment could benefit the economy since more graduates ‘will be able to fill the needs of the knowledge-based workforce.’”
