The Promise Plus Project is a one-year, grant-funded retention initiative that serves first-generation, low-income students and students of color at Mount Mary College. The Promise Plus Project will supplement the existing academic support services provided by the Promise Program, a TRIO Student Support Services program. Aimed precisely at issues that cause students from disadvantaged populations to withdraw from college, the Promise Plus Project will provide financial, social/cultural, career development and high impact services. Promise Plus Project participants will receive resources necessary to mitigate the non-academic challenges disadvantaged students face, increasing the likelihood that they will remain in college and obtain a degree. The position is contingent upon grant funding.
