A grant has been awarded to Gavilan College to help launch a program to increase student success during the first year of college for Hispanic and low-income students. The grant, which would provide 650-thousand dollars annually for the next 5 years, has been provided by the United States Department of Education and will fund a 2-part project. The first part of the project will develop new instructional strategies and the second part will allow the college to easily assess and guide the incoming students during the first year.
