Grant Summary

$350,000 over 36 months to support the collaboration between 13 of the 16 members of the Virginia Foundation of Independent Colleges (VFIC) and the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) in an ongoing statewide initiative, Transfer Virginia, that is mandated for public two- and four-year institutions. Statewide transfer pathways in the liberal arts will be launched (for chemistry, environmental science, history, sociology) or expanded to be inclusive of independent colleges and not just public four-year institutions (for biology, communication, English, political science, and psychology).
