Grant County's College Success Coalition

About the Coalition:

The Grant County College Success Coalition is a community network with the common goal of increasing the percentage of students who enter college in the fall following their high school graduation and earn a college degree or certificate within the first four years of college.

Coalition members do this by implementing activities to help students find college-access mentors, succeed in a rigorous college prep curriculum, develop a college plan, and obtain financial aid.


Who should join?

All schools, churches, non-profit agencies, community service groups and businesses that care about the community’s young people and have an interest in the county’s well-being


How do I join?

Visit the Grant County College Success Coalition website at:
www.grantcountycsc.org
There, you can register your organization, view school data and submit activity ideas.

Member activities:

Member organizations commit to sponsor at least one activity per year to help students and/or adults enter and succeed in college. The coalition team will work together to generate activity ideas, guidelines and materials. These activities can be as involved as providing one-on-one FAFSA assistance or as simple as distributing college flyers. Members are invited to attend three coalition members a year where they will analyze data and make decisions about the coalition’s vision, goals and activities.
