The Board of Regents has awarded a Completion Grant to each of the eight public colleges and universities in the state, to help sustain and scale programs working to improve graduation rates. These grants support programs focused on one or more of the five completion strategies approved by the Board of Regents in July 2013, which include: establishing 15 credit hours as the normal full-time course load; setting plateau tuition; creating degree program maps; helping students succeed in math; and exploring the feasibility of implementing reverse transfer or stackable credentials. The Completion Grant amounts range from about $18,000 to $40,000.
