"One population often left out of the conversation on the #digitaldivide is incarcerated students. Access to the internet is wholly regulated even though the internet access is in the locality where they are. It's the same issue of access." -Amy Kerwin #INTWebinar
.@MCBelkPilon: "For front-end planning for filling out the #FAFSA - check out @AdvisingCorps. It's a national access program that meets the student where they are & helps them think about the opportunities & navigate the complicated process." #INTWebinar
Agreed @MCBelkPilon Professional Advising, career coaches, and holistic wraparound supports are invaluable in advancing #StudentSuccess for #communitycollege students including helping with #FAFSA completion to ensure students secure the financial assistance they need #INTWebinar
One suggestion - in community colleges there is a program called Single Stop - you can input all of your information on your mobile device & it connects you to PELL dollars, bus transportation, health care, etc. It's a comprehensive new online digital connector." 2/2 #INTWebinar
“More than 1/2 of Bachelor degree students earn at least some credits at 2-year institutions.” ~Amy Kerwin
I was one of those students! Strong transfer opportunities is critical in our work to use the power of education to transform lives & expand economic mobility. #INTWebinar
“Students w/2-year degree can make twice as much as students with HS degree, and 4-year graduates can make three times as much.” @MCBelkPilon making the case for North Carolina’s @myFutureNC degree attainment goal. A college-going culture advances #SocialMobility #INTWebinar
Amy Kerwin: "The pandemic has amplified the challenges for families. We have taken a number of steps to help our grantees through #COVID19. In April our board approved a $2M COVID-19 response grant to target challenges for #K12 learners as a result of the pandemic." #INTWebinar
.@MCBelkPilon: "Removing barriers to #highered success was important pre-covid but now is even more critical.
Our state's young people are falling through the cracks at some points and #COVID19 made even more barriers -like access to #broadband." @BelkEndowment #INTWebinar
