To facilitate an increase in transfer enrollment of Black, Hispanic and non-traditional students, Texas State and Austin Community College (ACC) have partnered in the Equity Transfer Initiative, a grant-based initiative that will support resources and expand learning pathways for underrepresented student populations.
The two-year initiative will provide $27,500 in assistance to both Texas State and ACC, the only two Texas institutions to receive the grant. There are five transfer pathways for students participating in the program, including education, computer science, nursing, business and engineering.
At least 100 students will embark upon one of the five transfer pathways during the first year of the program. By the second year, the number of students will increase to 300 or more.
