April 9, 2021 /CSRwire/ - Students from low-income backgrounds who enroll in community colleges such as Cincinnati State have no lack of ability, drive or dreams.
Still, the challenges many of these students have faced leave them under-prepared for college academics and unfamiliar with the college environment, which can hinder their chances of graduating.
To help level the playing field, the Fifth Third Foundation has made a $750,000 lead gift toward a $3 million initiative that will provide 600 low-income students entering Cincinnati State the opportunity to participate in the C-State Accelerate program.
