Thirty-six million Americans have completed some college courses, but never graduated. A report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center shows the scope of the issue.
That’s where Complete 2 Compete comes into play. C2C uses multiple tools to help people get back to college and leave with a diploma in hand.
After launching in August 2017, C2C used data from Mississippi’s higher education systems to determine that almost 85,000 students could benefit from the program.
Of course, those degrees aren’t necessarily free. C2C offers tuition assistance grants and coaches who can help guide students through their journey, addressing the financial and bureaucratic hurdles that trip up so many students attempting to go back to college.
This program is even having an impact on the entire state, bolstering the economy and helping bring the state’s educational attainment more in line with other states.
