Wrap-around fund at the ccc foundation: Keeping students from dropping out
Contra Costa College (CCC) Foundation’s emergency grant fund, the Wrap-Around Fund, has been an essential program for keeping students in their classes at Contra Costa College. Since its inception in 2017, the goal of the program has been to prevent students from withdrawing due to a sudden financial emergency. Its success over three years is palpable: over $220,000 in Wrap-Around grants given directly to 430 students representing over 50 majors, students who on average are 90% likely to stay enrolled and finish their semesters.
