The recent grants announcement by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation included $1,786,000 for Virginia, providing support to expand groundbreaking remedial education programs that experts say are key to dramatically boosting the college completion rates of low-income students and students of color. Approximately $300,000 of this funding will support research in Virginia to identify obstacles to completion, factors that correlate with student success, and high and low performing institutions to inform statewide goals for community colleges. Danville Community College and Patrick Henry Community College will also receive program funding over a three year period.
