Funded Initiatives

  • Degrees When Due

    Degrees When Due (DWD) is an innovative, nationwide completion initiative led by the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP). DWD helps participating institutions improve their student completion rates by sharing data-driven strategies and tactics through a free web-based platform. Institutions apply an equity lens to their own real-time student data to ensure that todays’ students – students of color, low-income students, working students, student parents, and others – are re-engaged to cross the finish line.

  • Summer Academy

    IHEP Summer Academies gathered college and university teams to create and refine comprehensive action plans for institutional change.

  • Project Win-Win

    Sixty-one participating colleges (in nine states) joined forces to locate qualified students who never received an associate's degree and to award those degrees retroactively. This effort also identified former students who were no more than nine to 12 credits short of an associate’s degree and sought to find and bring them back to college to complete the degree. To date, more than 4,500 students have received degrees retroactively, as a result of this effort.
