Momentum Grants 2017

The USG Complete College Georgia Momentum Grants provide early stage funding and support for institutions to initiate and implement high-impact projects aligned with the goals of Complete College Georgia.

The 2017 Momentum Grant is a follow-up to the 2017 Advising Academy that gathered advising teams from across the system to work together to develop institutional plans for addressing Momentum Year elements and outline the role of advising in providing them to each incoming freshman. As stated at the Advising Academy, these grants are intended to be the next stage in planning to produce concrete, actionable steps to address identified challenges.

What is a Momentum Year?

Evidence-based research confirms that college students are most successful when they start out their college careers by making a purposeful choice in a focus area or program, enter with a productive academic mindset, and follow clearly sequenced program maps that include nine credits in the student’s academic focus area and 30 credits in their first year.  Put together, these three elements create a Momentum Year for students—a starting point that helps students find their path, get on that path, and build velocity in the direction of their goals.
