The COVID-19 crisis is exacerbating existing equity gaps in higher education for traditionally underserved students. As students face difficult decisions about whether to continue on with their studies, evidence-based programs that address financial and academic needs can keep them engaged and support their efforts to return to school in the fall and beyond. This brief examines the "Scaling Up Community College Efforts for Student Success" (SUCCESS), a comprehensive support program designed to improve graduation rates for low-income students and students of color. In the face of the pandemic, SUCCESS colleges remain committed to the program and have successfully adapted its services to continue providing support to students during this challenging time.
