Founder and co-chair of Arnold Ventures, Laura Arnold, highlighted the significance of this partnership in a time when resources are limited. She stated that by matching state investments with philanthropic capital, they are ensuring that every dollar has a meaningful impact on students, families, and communities.
The first phase of this partnership will focus on higher education and workforce training. Two community colleges in Colorado - Lamar Community College and Colorado Mountain College - will receive support for launching proven student success initiatives. These initiatives are modeled after the Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) initiative developed by City University of New York (CUNY). ASAP provides comprehensive academic, financial, and personal support for low-income students pursuing two-year associate degrees.
CUNY Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez expressed confidence in the success of these initiatives based on their track record at CUNY. He stated that ASAP has helped over 110,000 students and has been replicated nationwide. The adoption of this program by Colorado's community colleges is expected to have a measurable impact on student success and economic mobility.
