The mission of Title III Programs is to ensure federal resources are effectively and efficiently used to assist Rhodes State College in becoming self-sufficient and expanding its capacity to serve diverse student populations. The funds are provided by the U.S. Department of Education to improve and strengthen the college’s student completion rate and increase the diversity on campus through holistic student support, data support, faculty development, and re-engagement of students who stopped out during COVID–19.
Rhodes State College’s Award is focused on 4 Pillars to strengthen our foundation and raise the ceiling to continued success! We have gathered a team to carry out the activities and meet the goals that are identified in the Title III grant.
Develop and implement high–impact practice to reengage students who stopped out due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
