Under this award, the university delivers comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance retention, graduation, and transfer rates for disadvantaged college students, with particular emphasis on English language learners. The program targets low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities by providing academic enhancement, financial literacy support, and other student success services to improve their potential for completing postsecondary education programs. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution and minority institution, Universidad Adventista De Las Antillas leverages this federal funding to support underrepresented student populations and facilitate their successful progression through higher education pathways.
