Two organizations have partnered to help ensure that students at historical and predominantly Black community colleges have the same opportunities as most institutions.
ECMC Foundation is investing $500,000 to help make sure students in underserved communities reach their career goals. The money will go to grants for eight historically Black or predominantly Black community colleges, now known as the “Great Eight.”
“Really the goal is just increasing completion. We want to increase enrollment and make sure they persist, and make sure they complete, and make sure the institutions and the leadership of the institutions have the resources they need to continue to do the amazing work that they already do,” said Scott
While the two foundations are trying to help the nation’s future, they also want to touch the adults enrolling in college. Trenholm State Community College in Montgomery and Wallace Community College in Selma are included in those eight schools. Both colleges’ presidents sent statements about the grant.
