ÉXITO Title V Grant Program

EXITO Grant

GateWay’s proposal, Equitable Experience Infused Through Out (ÉXITO) GateWay: a holistic approach to foster student well-being and academic attainment, encompasses GateWay’s vision to develop a proactive, student-ready culture that sets the stage for student success from the College’s first contact with a student, through graduation, and beyond. Furthermore, éxito in Spanish means, “success” and it is the College’s  desire to support students to succeed. Title V funding supports the retention and preparedness of all students attending a Hispanic-serving institution.

GateWay’s Title V program is designed to remove barriers and address gaps throughout the student lifecycle that can impede access, retention, and student success. Whether that is degree completion or transfer to a 4-Year Institution, GateWay has put together the following 5 Year Plan that will help reach these goals:

Removing Barriers

  • Improving support & resources to close the success gap.
  • Enhancing communication with students and the community thereby demystifying higher education.
  • Offering contextualized financial literacy information.

Enhancing Support Services and Systems

  • Using data to inform interventions for at-risk students.
  • Providing early and personalized interventions for those at-risk students.
  • Providing additional resources to support employees and students.
  • Providing students with enhanced experiential learning opportunities.

Cultivating a Positive Mindset

  • Preparing students for success beyond classrooms and careers.
  • Enhancing courses to infuse positive education.
  • Developing a culture of Well-Being that focuses on supporting the whole student and employee.
