Lumina Foundation has announced that it will fund three grant programs totaling more than $5 million as it attempts to ramp up progress toward its higher education 60% attainment goal.
This grant program will advance education policy at the state level that’s intended to increase educational attainment after high school and improve outcomes for Black, Hispanic, Latino, Native American and adult students. Awards totaling $1 million are anticipated.
State-based 501 nonprofit organizations advancing education policy at a state level are eligible. Lumina may award up to five grants for as much as $200,000 each. Applications are due by 12 a.m. EDT Sept. 9.For more than a decade Lumina has been a name that’s virtually synonymous with what’s known as the “Big Goal” — where 60% of American adults possess a high-quality college degree or credential by 2025.
According to Lumina, in 2008, 37.9% of American adults had a recognized postsecondary credential. As of now, that figure has increased to 51.9%, an improvement that, in part, reflects Lumina including workforce certifications and other high-quality certificates in its count, starting in 2014. Lumina’s higher education attainment agenda has been one of the strongest drivers of policy over the past two decades, particularly at the state level, where since the launching of the Big Goal, 46 states have set their own attainment goals.
