| Despite these positive changes, clear disparities persist, and completion remains a challenge for all student groups. That’s why we identified Student Supports as a key focal point for our philanthropic strategy over the next five years. We’ll work to increase the number of Texas students who complete a certificate, associate degree, or baccalaureate degree leading to a living-wage job—particularly students of color, adult learners, and low-income students—by funding differentiated approaches to support students from all backgrounds, with the intention of generating sustainable institution- and systems-level change.
