Grants total more than $5.3 million and expand initiative’s impact to nearly 5 million undergraduates

In October 2019, the Education Commission of the States was awarded a second pooled investment to advance the work of Strong Start to Finish. The funds are to support work streams grounded in the scaling and enhancing of reforms that have proven to directly and positively impact student progression into and through math and English credit-bearing course work in their first year of study. Pooled funds will support three interrelated streams of work.
