Intervention for College Attendance Grants
PLEASE NOTE: No new proposals are being accepted. The 2011 Minnesota legislature made $621,000 available to support continuation of services from Intervention for College Attendance Program (ICAP) grants awarded for the 2010-2011 biennium. These continuation grants will provide enhanced data collection to measure ICAP outcomes and document services that promote postsecondary readiness and/or retention.
The Office of Higher Education administers the Intervention for College Attendance Grant Program to foster postsecondary attendance and retention by providing outreach services to historically underserved students in grades six through 12 and historically underrepresented college students. Funded projects must focus on increasing the high school graduation, college participation and college success rates of students served by grant recipients.
