Furthermore, AAPI students in these programs are likelier to obtain those degrees faster than their peers, transfer to four-year institutions and attempt more for-credit courses even before finishing community college.
These are among the findings in a recently released report that explores the effectiveness of federal Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI) grants. The awards support retention efforts at colleges and universities where at least 10 percent of students are AAPI and 50 percent are low-income.
