Virginia Tech’s College Access Collaborative has been opening doors to higher education for low-income and underserved students around the commonwealth since 2016. A recently awarded $3.4 million grant from the Virginia State Council of Higher Education (SCHEV) will help them swing the doors open even wider.
The grant will fund VT GPS, a multiyear collaborative effort to recruit and retain students eligible for federal Pell grants, a marker of high financial need. The program will include outreach to high schoolers, STEM tutoring, and financial and academic support for students as they transition to college.
