This workshop, held at the 2017 #RealCollege convening, focused on capacity building and sustainability of non-traditional financial aid programs, e.g., emergency grants, completion grants, public benefits and tax credits, as well as helping students meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements. Participants applied a planning model of effective collaboration, assessment, and evaluation to a financial aid program of their choosing. A panel of experts, leaders, and practitioners then discussed how they use aspects of this model to build capacity and sustain their programs. The panelists also assisted participants with developing their own aid or success program.

The panelists included: Travis York, Michael Baston, Margo Wright, Omari Burnside, and Jordan Herrrera
