“We just wouldn't have been able to [retain students]. And those students would have had to drop out and probably never came back, but a small grant makes a big difference at the right time. And that's the value of Edquity for us."

Dr. Pyeper Wilkins
Vice Chancellor, Workforce & Advancement of Dallas College

"As the first California community college to work with Edquity, I am encouraged to see this initiative translate into results for our students and am excited to continue to expand our use for emergency aid to increase retention, graduation, and enrollment for both our dual enrollment students from local high schools within our District and students who have withdrawn from Compton College due to the pandemic."

President/CEO of Compton College
