Greater Texas Foundation is proud to award $1,269,070 to continue support for Texas A&M AgriLife Extension’s Rural Student Success Initiative (RSSI). This initiative improves non-academic college access and retention supports and will expand interventions to 14 new school districts and add staff to effectively scale its central office capacity. RSSI’s intentional design prioritizes under-resourced rural districts, aiming to strategically implement college access plans and provide essential programming to help students navigate postsecondary planning and financial aid processes.
