Description

Expected outcomes
We anticipate that 170 students will enroll and 80 will complete short-term credentials at one of six partner 2-year institutions. We will produce an evaluation to measure the impact of the initiative so city of boston staff may determine if this expansion of the tuition free community college initiative will be permanent.
Intended beneficiaries
Boston residents 18 who have a high school credential but no bachelors degree.
Subrecipient activities
Subrecipients will include our 6 partner 2-year institutions and our evaluator. College partners will screen students for eligibility and enroll in the program, deliver academic programming, and connect students to career services for job placement. Where appropriate, colleges will assist students with licensure credentialling. Our evaluator will complete an evaluation of the expansion efforts and provide recommendations for continuing to fund short-term certificates after the completion of this grant.
