CCAC Grant to Aid Low-Income from the New Pittsburgh Courier
"Forty percent of all African-American undergraduate students are enrolled in community colleges. However, according to a report released by the American Association of Community Colleges, only 26 percent of Black students and 30 percent of low-income community college students have completed either a degree or a certificate within six years. In Pittsburgh, the Community College of Allegheny County is working to improve graduation rates with the help of a grant awarded from the U.S. Department of Education."
