Ohio Campus Compact Connect2Complete - CSCC Delaware
 
 
 
The Ohio Campus Compact Connect2Complete program (C2C) AmeriCorps VISTA project addresses the critical needs of college students from the lowest socioeconomic status who often experience significant barriers in trying to graduate from college and is designed to improve college success and completion. More Ohioans from low-income backgrounds are enrolling in postsecondary education with the goal of preparing for jobs that provide access to middle-class wages and move them out of poverty. Unfortunately, too few students succeed. There are many reasons for this; first-generation college students tend to be less informed about the processes of preparing for college and often lack the academic skills to do college level work upon enrolling. This insufficient "college knowledge" and lack of academic readiness, combined with the typical barriers faced by other underserved students--family and work obligations, and low financial resources often lead to students dropping out of college before degree completion. The C2C program specifically addresses Pell Grant-eligible students and connects them with Peer Advocates that share community and college resources and involve them in community engagement activities. The C2C program is proven to improve college persistence, success, and graduation rates.
