The University of Pittsburgh is one of 15 universities to receive an innovation grant in the initial phase of Strada Education Network’s $10 million Beyond Completion Challenge.
The grants aim to help universities across the country develop new solutions to improve career and life opportunities for more students of color, first-generation students and those who struggle to afford education.
At Pitt, the $245,000 grant will support yet-to-be-deployed efforts and existing initiatives, including The Provost Academy, which prepares students for success in their first year.
