Ace! NewsFlash

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has thrown its support behind two new community-college projects as part of its continuing campaign to increase the number of financially needy students who complete a certificate or college-degree program.

The foundation announced today that it had given $560,000 to the City University of New York to help it plan a new community college that is being designed with the sole focus of sharply increasing graduation rates. The foundation also gave $350,000 to the Seattle-King County Workforce Education Collaborative, which includes 11 community and technical colleges, to help it design six postsecondary programs tailored to working adults.
