About this grant
The purpose of the Opening Doors Demonstration and evaluation, a project of MDRC, is to learn how community colleges can serve students more effectively and boost student achievement. This project renewal aims to help low-income students between the ages of 17 and 34 complete high quality community college programs leading to associate’s degrees or employer-recognized occupational certificates, thereby increasing transfer rates to four-year schools and success in the labor market.
