Idaho is among a group of states that have formed an alliance to battle dismal college completion rates and figure out how to get more students to follow through and earn their diplomas.
The nonprofit Complete College America heads the efforts in 17 states, with about $12 million in startup money from several national nonprofits including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The campaign’s goal is to make sure 60 percent of adults between the ages of 25 and 35 hold an associate or bachelor’s degree by 2020, up from the 38 percent that now claim that status. (Idaho Statesman)
