Through this funding, Salt Lake Community College will provide on-campus tutoring, academic advising, career counseling, financial aid assistance, and educational workshops to an anticipated cohort of college students. These services are intended to strengthen students' potential for successfully completing their postsecondary education programs, improve financial and economic literacy, and facilitate transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions. The program operates on a five-year grant cycle with annual continuation awards subject to fund availability and demonstrated progress toward program objectives.
