Woodburn Independent<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month the two U.S. senators from Oregon, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, announced that Chemeketa Community College would receive a $2.2 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education\u2019s Rural Postsecondary and Economic Development Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chemeketa sources said that it was the only college in the state to receive this particular grant, and that the money would greatly benefit the school\u2019s Dual Enrollment Program<\/a>. That program affords students an opportunity to earn high school and college credits simultaneously. Chemeketa contracts with many surrounding school districts to provide high school students with college credit options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudents of all backgrounds deserve a fair shot at a solid education,\u201d Wyden said. \u201cThis funding is the perfect example of how to expand opportunities for folks in rural Oregon and across the nation, and I applaud Chemeketa Community College for receiving this grant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First-generation college students may find this an especially worthwhile path as they transition into higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHigher education helps connect students with resources, opportunities, and tools to thrive, building stronger communities, economies, and futures in Oregon,\u201d said Merkley. \u201cAs the first in my family to graduate from college, I know how challenging it can be to access higher education\u2014especially for those coming from underrepresented and underserved backgrounds. This incredibly important funding for Chemeketa Community College will help provide crucial support and opportunities, opening doors for Oregon\u2019s rural students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such doors are welcome portals in this eyes of this regional school\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to receive this grant for the \u2018Chemeketa College-going Access and Regional Equity for Students (CARES)\u2019 project. This funding will empower us to expand educational opportunities for rural high school students, strengthen community partnerships, and ensure a brighter future for our region,\u201d Chemeketa President and CEO Jessica Howard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $2.2 million federal grant will support the Chemeketa College-going Access and Regional Equity for Students (CARES) program. The program expands career and technical education dual credit courses, develops hybrid CTE and combined school enrollment models, and provides teachers with effective technology and professional development opportunities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
