The American Association of Community Colleges is pleased to announce the national grant competition for its Make It Personal: College Completion project. The purpose of the project is to help improve student retention and success by addressing pregnancy planning, prevention, and healthy relationships. Unplanned pregnancy among young adults is at the root of a number of important public health and social challenges, including college dropout rates.
AACC will award four one-year grants of up to $20,000 each to member colleges to develop curricular or co-curricular content and materials that can be readily adopted or adapted by other community colleges. This initiative is made possible with the generous support of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.
