Feds award $2.1 million grant to The Evergreen State College
Sep. 29The Evergreen State College in Olympia has received a U.S. Department of Education Title III grant that totals $2.1 million, the college announced this week.
The grant money will fund a five-year project that will continue Evergreen's work to increase college capacity in student access and success for historically underserved students through advising and coordinated wrap-around services, according to a news release.
The college also will use the funding to create an early alert system that will identify students who are struggling and provide them with the resources they need to get back on track.
"The Evergreen State College was created to bring affordable, world-class education to everyone especially those who are typically underserved by higher education," said Executive Vice President, Dexter Gordon, in a statement.
