Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2016, $1,000,000)
The recipient will use the funds to assist the selected Second Chance Pell (SCP)sites in successfully implementing quality postsecondary education in correctional facilities through its Expanding Access to Postsecondary Education (EAPSE) project and based on its experience implementing quality college-in-prison programs in multiple jurisdictions. Project goals are to develop strong college-corrections partnerships in SCP sites that deliver high quality postsecondary education and provide reentry services that support credential attainment post-release; and to provide objective information on the impact of postsecondary education in prison to local and state policymakers, corrections and college leaders, business leaders, and reentry service providers. The recipient will accomplish these goals through the provision of targeted technical assistance (TA) and the dissemination of resources via the EAPSE knowledge bank and presentations at professional association meetings.
