Carnegie, Gates, Hewlett Foundations Unite to Tackle Roadblocks to Student Success

These three prominent foundations have joined forces to invest in research that develops effective solutions to ensure those who are least prepared are much more likely to graduate. Researchers will then quickly test these innovative solutions in schools and other learning contexts, and then rapidly refine their findings. Improving the success rates of community college students in developmental math is the first problem the project will tackle with this joint funding. Carnegie will lead the implementation of this investment.
