The program delivers supportive services aimed at increasing student retention and graduation rates, facilitating transfers from two-year to four-year institutions, and improving academic potential and financial literacy. Through this one-year project period, Rhode Island College will provide targeted interventions and student support mechanisms to help disadvantaged students successfully complete their postsecondary education programs and enhance their overall potential for academic success in higher education.
