A $75,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation will allow the University of New Orleans to provide more students with targeted support through its partnership with College Beyond. College Beyond’s success coaches, who are housed on UNO’s campus, provide academic and non-academic interventions to Pell Grant recipient college students who graduated from greater New Orleans high schools.

The program served 80 freshmen during the 2018-19 academic year.  The Kresge grant will enable as many as 100 additional students to participate.
