Description
Strategic efforts focused on closing persistent achievement gaps in higher education are needed in order to dramatically increase the number of people in America earning postsecondary degrees and credentials. Doing so requires that these efforts provide support to students of color, low-income students, first-generation students, and returning adult students with some or no college experience, who experience lower attainment rates. Complete College America (CCA) has become a national leader in this work, using communications and policy advocacy to promote a set of evidence-based ‘Game Changer’ strategies to states and institutions of higher education, and providing implementation support to their forty-four member colleges and universities as they pursue these strategies. This work has resulted in structural changes and improved student outcomes, and has advanced the national discourse on postsecondary completion. This grant is for general support.

Description
Complete College America (CCA) is a national nonprofit with a single mission: to work with states to significantly increase the number of Americans who attain college degrees or high-quality career certificates and to close attainment gaps for traditionally underrepresented populations of students. It is the only national organization specifically devoted to increasing college success by scaling proven-effective strategies through state higher-education systems, and to collecting unique progression and completion metrics and utilizing the data for systemic change. CCA has built a network of thirty-five states (and territories) whose governors or chief executives have committed to increase college completion rates, and implement evidence-based practices that have proven to dramatically increase college completion rates.
