College Reach-Out Program

佛罗里达州

The College Reach-Out Program (CROP) is a statewide program created in 1983 by the Florida Legislature under section 1007.34、佛罗里达法规. The statute was designed to further the legislature’s intent of increasing the number of students successfully completing postsecondary education. The primary objective of CROP is to recruit low-income, educationally-disadvantaged students in grades 6-12 and concentrate its efforts on motivating and preparing them to attend college and complete their postsecondary education. 没有干预, these students would be unlikely to seek admission to a postsecondary institution. No other state administers a program that targets this particular population.

An estimated 180,000 students have been served by CROP since the program was initiated. In 2012-2013, 1,550 new students joined the program, and a total of 4,170 students were served. The approximate cost was $234 per student for the project year.

CROP repeatedly demonstrates a positive return on the state’s investment in the program. In accordance with the Florida Department of Education’s mission, CROP’s provision of quality services results in high student achievement. CROP’s philosophy involves providing a mixture of academic and psychosocial support, generating greater levels of completion and transition for CROP students than those of a random sample of non-CROP students.

The College Reach-Out Program is funded by the Department of Education (DOE) through the Office of Postsecondary Education (College Reach-Out Program Annual Evaluation, 2020年2月).
