Direct Connection to Policy Area 3 of The Illinois Commitment EDMC Education Foundation The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? This program helps students to pay for their college education. It also assists and encourages organizations to contribute scholarship money by making an income tax deduction available to them. Description of the effective practice: In an attempt to obtain more donations to use for student scholarships to increase financial aid for students, the EDMC Education Foundation was established. The EDMC Education Foundation is a non-profit foundation that was set up to provide additional scholarship monies to students attending The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago. The Foundation also allows businesses and organizations to make tax-deductible contributions for scholarships to students. The Scholarship Committee then distributes these scholarship money to deserving students. How does this practice achieve sustainability? The scholarship committee has been an active committee overseeing the EDMC Education Foundation scholarships for three years. This committee will continue to oversee scholarship funds from all sources including those give to this foundation. What are the results/measurable outcomes? The committee has distributed approximately $20,000 in scholarships and has a current balance of over $20,000 to distribute. The committee will be distributing $15,000 in scholarship for Fall 2006.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 3 of The Illinois Commitment GED and College Level Educations Get Connected South Suburban College of Cook County What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? Even though community education programs are housed within the same walls as our college-level programs, we often neglect to keep them connected to the college-level instructional opportunities on campus. Many individuals with great potentials go through our GED program – they need extra assistance, guidance, and encouragement to continue their educational pursuits. Description of the effective practice: SSC has a commencement ceremony for GED students which encompasses the same pomp and flair as our college-level graduations. The ceremony is more intimate due to the smaller number of graduates and audience members tend to be more excited by the accomplishments of the GED graduates. The ceremony emphasizes the value of an education and various speakers encourage the GED recipients to continue their educational pursuits. All GED students receive one free college level course (tuition waiver) upon completion of their GED studies. Students who obtain over 3000 on the GED exam receive a full ride scholarship (tuition waivers) for two years of college-level work so that they can pursue educational opportunities beyond their GED work. In addition, the college has several smaller scholarships which are handed out at the GED graduation to encourage and assist students in continuing their educations. How does this practice achieve sustainability? A community education leader on campus is needed. In addition, Board support for GED tuition waivers is necessary. Leadership from the top down need to see the value of this type of connectedness between the two areas of the college. Leadership needs to participate in the GED graduation ceremony. What are the results/measurable outcomes? We have seen an increase in the number of students who pursue college-level work beyond their receipt of a GED certificate. It is not known which item (or a combination of them all) have played a role in this change. Contact Information Name: Gloria Taylor Email: gtaylor@southsuburbancollege.edu Phone: (708) 596-2000 81
