Overview

Last-Mile Scholarships

Overview: A scholarship program designed to help students cross the finish line to graduation by providing financial support to those who are nearly complete with their degrees but cannot otherwise afford tuition and fees.

Geographic Scope: Cleveland State University (Ohio, US)

Focus Areas: Student financial support for degree completion

Eligibility:

Full-time juniors or seniors

GPA of 3.0 or higher

Cannot otherwise afford college tuition and fees

Program Impact:

Nearly 2,000 scholarships awarded in the last decade

Nearly 85% of recipients went on to graduate

Close to 50% of recipients are first-generation college students

Nearly 35% of recipients are racial or ethnic minorities

Background: Designed to address the challenge that students who drop out involuntarily—even for a single semester—have only a 30% chance of returning and earning their degrees. The program helps prevent students from having to leave school when they are just one or two semesters away from graduation.
