Ranger, TX—February 14, 2023. The U.S. Department of Education’s Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program awarded Ranger College a five-year, $3 million grant, the largest federal grant in the college’s history. The project, Ranger REACH, is designed to enhance academic support services for students across all three campuses.
The activities of Ranger REACH include the construction of an Academic Pathway Center, the addition of success/career coaches and expansion of tutoring programs to assist underserved students. Ranger will enhance its new student “6 x 6” initiative by revamping orientation and the bridge program to include more families and Spanish language sessions. Underserved students will be presented with a full array of academic, wraparound and career services through the programs of this HSI project. Further, Ranger will institute a series of faculty and staff development programs which will aid in the delivery of services to the student body.
“We are thankful for the support from the Department of Education, and our partnership with Marygrove Consulting. The grant will be transformative for our campuses and help students thrive in college and beyond.” said Ranger College president Derrick Worrels.
