LUMINA GRANT
Pell Institute’s Student Advisory Board to Shape the future of post-secondary success
The Pell Institute launched a pioneering research study on TRIO learners’ views of post-secondary credential completion. Seeking collaboration from Black, Latino/a, and Indigenous TRIO college students, the institute formed a 10-12 member Student Advisory Board. Chosen participants receive a stipend and meet monthly, beginning September 2023. This research is funded by a grant from Lumina Foundation. Learn more about the grant here.
