| Abstract: | Chapter 54 of the Statutes of 2022 (AB 183) allocated $30,000,000 to establish the California Community Colleges (CCC) "Native American Student Support and Success Program" (NASSSP) for the purpose of: (1) strengthening K-12 pathways to and through the CCC system for Native American students; (2) ensuring the educational success of Native American students; (3) developing Native American leaders; and (4) increasing the number of Native American mentors to empower future generations. AB 183 authorized the Chancellor's Office to enter into agreements with up to 20 community colleges to develop local NASSSPs and prioritized granting funds to colleges with the highest number of Native American students. The Chancellor's Office used a two-step process to determine the final 20 community colleges for this investment. First, a quantitative approach was used to identify 30 eligible colleges based on specific American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) student factors and identified equity gaps. Second, the final 20 colleges were selected by prioritizing those campuses that committed to supporting AI/AN student success by implementing the NASSSP on their campuses and meeting the program's statutory requirements. |
