In December 2020, Complete College America (CCA), in partnership with the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, launched a rigorous 12- to 18-month project designed to increase student success and completion rates at small liberal arts institutions. The focus was on building and enhancing support systems for first-generation and Pell-eligible students, and those from under-resourced communities. The Jessie Ball duPont Fund looked at 40 institutions it works with and identified 12 representing four-year institutions, community and technical colleges, Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
