Video interview with OSU President Ed Ray.
Summary:
Ed Ray, President of OSU, gives an overview of what the Bridge to Success program is. In order to be eligible for this program you need to be eligible for the Pell Grant, and the Oregon Opportunity Grant.
Audience and agenda:
Oregon State University is one of the most popular institutions in Oregon. It is located in Corvallis, and is home to 20,320 students.
Usefulness:
Bridges to Success is basically the same type of program that Pathway Oregon is. The only difference between the two is that Pathway Oregon offers student tutoring along with financial aid. Money is just one part of the accessibility issue with higher education. You need to make sure that kids have the resources needed to succeed in school.
