Abstract | Community college students face many barriers to success. College Promise programs, which now number more than 200, provide financial support to pay local students' tuition and fees. These programs have received bipartisan support from state and municipal policymakers to improve students' "access" to college, putting college financially in reach, but these programs do not typically address college "success." Increasing completion rates is the next step. To improve students' academic outcomes, the Detroit Regional Chamber and MDRC partnered to create the Detroit Promise Path, which adds four components to the existing scholarship program: (1) campus coaches who help students navigate academic and personal issues; (2) monthly financial support contingent on meeting with coaches; (3) enhanced summer engagement; and (4) monitoring and messages informed by behavioral science through a management information system created by MDRC. This brief discusses the details of the Detroit Promise Path and what the program's results mean for other College Promise programs. (ERIC). |
