| Abstract: | Partnerships funded by the Washington Student Achievement Council's (WSAC) Regional Challenge Grant (RCG) are only in their second year of funded work. Still, early evidence makes clear the impact of these disciplined investments. Financial aid application rates, high school graduation rates, and even college retention rates--these critical indicators are already improving as regional partnerships shift educational culture for K-12 students, adults, and families. Community-led solutions to educational challenges can and will sustainably increase the number of Washingtonians with postsecondary education and training. This brief report presents what is known about Regional Challenge Grants. |
