SUCCESS Program - Massachusetts Association of Community Colleges Massachusetts Association of Community Colleges Supporting Urgent Community College Equity through Student Services The SUCCESS Fund (Supporting Urgent Community College Equity through Student Services) was created in fiscal year (FY) 2021 specifically for Massachusetts community colleges to invest in wraparound supports and services using models proven to strengthen outcomes for students facing systemic barriers.
An innovative collaboration among the 15 Massachusetts Community Colleges, the Massachusetts Association of Community Colleges (MACC), and the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education (DHE), SUCCESS programs are especially designed to improve outcomes for the colleges’ most underserved populations.
These wraparound support activities are meant to build on proven successful support services, including peer mentoring, academic skills workshops, targeted academic, career, transfer, and scholarship advising, and other vital supports.
SUCCESS was created specifically for Massachusetts’ 15 community colleges to strengthen and scale proven models for wraparound supports and services that help strengthen outcomes for students facing systemic barriers. Students supported by SUCCESS include economically disadvantaged students, first-generation college students, minoritized students, students with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ students.
Although each college’s SUCCESS program is designed to serve their specific student need, all programs are available for any student wishing to participate. Due to historical barriers, many students struggle to complete their coursework, reenroll, graduate, and/or transfer to a four-year institution.
Through intensive coaching, academic advising, tutoring, mentoring, and more, SUCCESS services are designed to help strengthen outcomes for students facing systemic barriers. There was an 11-percentage point advantage in three-year outcomes for first-time full-time SUCCESS participants who were enrolled and engaged with the initiative in fall 2021 versus their peers who did not engage (66% vs. 55%).
Within three years, more SUCCESS students than their peers remained enrolled at their home institutions and about twice as many SUCCESS students had completed a certificate or degree (either at their home institution or a transfer institution) than their comparable peers.
