Program Success Model
The national average for first-generation college students succeeding in a degree program and graduating on time is only 10%. When support services like networking, course selection assistance, FAFSA renewal, job search, and study skills are offered, the graduation percentage increases by at least 5 times the national average.
Hometown Scholars creates a winning solution for the students, community, local industry, and economy, by combining these support services into a robust, on-site mentoring program that has driven graduation rates as high as 92%.
Our success rate is 92% because we combine 5 student assistance programs into our mentoring program.
