The University Advising Center launched the scholarship risk intervention program in 2021, which assigns advisors to reach out to students who have an insufficient GPA or not enough credit hours to retain scholarship funds. This intervention helps retain and graduate more students by ensuring they have the funds they need to continue pursuing an education. Since its inception, the program has increased the rate of scholarship retention at USC by 20%. Learn more ⬇ https://lnkd.in/ehwzd2AP
