The National College Attainment Network (NCAN) is excited to announce the five amazing members recently selected for the second cohort of a grant project being generously funded by the Oak Foundation.

NCAN will provide these member organizations direct grant support to expand their capacity in guiding the postsecondary transition of students with learning differences in addition to providing them with technical assistance and professional development to strengthen their efforts.

The following four members are part of the grant project, “Strengthening Postsecondary Transitions for Students with Learning Difference,” funded by the Oak Foundation: 

• College AIM - Atlanta, GA
• College Now Greater Cleveland - Cleveland, OH
• Denver Public Schools - Denver, CO
• Goddard Riverside Community Center - New York, NY
  
• Milwaukee Public Schools Foundation - Milwaukee, WI

Our entire Network will benefit from these grant projects, as NCAN will curate and share tons of content and training via webinars, blog posts, Conference sessions, and more. Our grantees will share their lessons learned and promising practices in strengthening postsecondary transitions for their students. We look forward to playing a role in increasing our members’ capacity in these unique and much needed efforts.
