Strong Start to Finish Arkansas: Scaling English & Math Co-Requisite Supports

In November 2018, Arkansas was announced as a new addition to the Strong Start to Finish (SStF) network of systems implementing developmental education reforms. The Kresge Foundation awarded the Arkansas Department of Higher Education in partnership with Arkansas Community Colleges (ACC) a grant to help students at 32 Arkansas institutions successfully start – and finish – college. Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson allocated a matching grant toward the effort.

The goal is to help more students successfully pass math and English in their first year, which has been identified to increase their likelihood to graduate.
