Arnold Ventures: Rigorous Impact Evaluations of Student Success Programs and Practices in Higher Education
The Higher Education initiative seeks to identify and scale effective practices that improve student success and address equity gaps in higher education. Arnold Ventures (AV) works to continue building the evidence base and to secure policies and investments to scale up what works. This Request for Proposals—a joint effort of AV’s Higher Education and Evidence-Based Policy initiatives—seeks grant applications to conduct rigorous impact evaluations of programs and practices (“interventions”) to promote college success in the United States. Applicants are expected to submit a letter of interest (maximum of three pages). Applicants whose letters are reviewed favorably will be invited to submit a full proposal (maximum of six pages). There is no deadline for submitting a letter of interest and applicants may submit a letter at any time via email to StudentSuccessRFP@arnoldventures.org. Applicants will be notified within approximately one month whether they are invited to submit a full proposal. Due: rolling deadline; Amount: unspecified, recent Higher Ed grants range from $200K- $2M.
