                Short Description
                Implement a comprehensive student support program aligned with labor market demand and economic opportunity. A small cohort of community colleges and K-12 districts will be engaged in programming to produce student outcome milestones. If key student outcome milestones are reached, this program may demonstrate measures to boost dual credit and dual enrollment outcomes across the state.

These financial, academic, personal and professional supports will begin their senior year of high school and continue through the participants’ first year of community college and possibly longer. Community college partners will be trained to deliver direct student supports to participating scholars. These financial, academic, personal and professional supports will begin their senior year of high school and continue at least through the participants’ first year of community college.  Through one or more cooperative agreements, the program will facilitate collaboration between stakeholders to implement this programming in support of students.
