The grant enables Harbor College to develop new student success activities and enhance existing student success activities over the term of the grant to promote postsecondary completion for students whose economic challenges can thwart their academic and career goals. </p><p>The goals of the grant initiative are to strengthen the evidence base for implementing the WFSNCC strategy in community colleges by highlighting the ways in which it contributes to higher persistence, completion, and job attainment rates for low-income students, and to demonstrate that embedding the WFSN strategy in college processes and systems can be cost effective and has the potential to catalyze institutional culture change. Harbor College plans to achieve these goals by implementing or enhancing student services in the areas of Education and Employment, Financial Services and Asset Building, and Income and Work Supports. By the end of the third year of the grant the college expects to provide 25% of its low-income students with access to services in the categories mentioned above. </p><p>To meet one of the main goals of the WFSNCC initiative the college will report on a common set of outcomes using standardized measures, which will be developed by the grantor and in consultation with Harbor College. The college will collect a variety of data on student services and performance in order to monitor student progress, assess the impact of various services, and to refine institutional policies and practices. </p><p>Instructions Either tab or double click to move from section to section For pulldown menus, either use your mouse to access or use the F4 key then arrow up/down keys 6/2/2018 Instructions Either tab or double click to move from section to section For pulldown menus, either use your mouse to access or use the F4 key then arrow up/down keys 6/2/2018</p>
