A $299,274 grant from Greater Texas Foundation will allow researchers to explore enrollment patterns of part-time students at Texas community colleges and identify policy and practice reforms to promote their success. “One factor that is likely to lead some students to wanting or needing to enroll part time is dealing with mental health challenges. Enhancing the quality of education provided to low-income students and students of color is a particular focus of TSP researchers. They also will interview community college administrators and conduct focus groups with part-time community college students to understand why students enroll part time and what interventions might help them succeed. Kosiewicz, assistant professor of instruction in EPPS and principal investigator on the project, said increasing evidence shows that college students, particularly low-income students and students of color, struggle with mental health.
