Tisdale and leaders of other historically black colleges and universities met with officials of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation nearly two years ago, they were encouraged to identify ways to transform higher education. Claflin, recognized as one of the nation’s premier liberal arts institutions, readily accepted the challenge to ensure access and success for its 1,950 students, many of whom are first generation and come from low income backgrounds. Hence, they tend to struggle during their first year of college due to academic challenges, financial and personal support challenges, as well as inflexible learning systems. With Claflin’s determination and laser-sharp focus on student success, the university is one of up to 30 Gates Foundation Institutional Partners nationwide, and a recipient of a $1.2 million grant over 4.5 years to enhance student learning, accelerate student credentials, maintain access and close the equity gap. This collaboration focuses on the overarching goal of seeing underrepresented and underprepared students graduate at higher rates with high-quality credentials at affordable prices.
