INTRODUCTION

The Disadvantaged Student Grant Programs in Illinois public community colleges havemany significant accomplishments. This report will attempt to relate these accom-plishments through anecdotal accounts of examplary achievements of persons orgroups; narrative reports submitted by each college district; and tables of data onfunding, students served, student characteristics, and program activities.

From the beginning in FY 1973, the Disadvantaged Student Grants to Illinois publiccommunity colleges have moved from programs directed toward the economicallydisadvantaged student to the educationally disadvantaged student. This change cameabout through an amendment to the Illinois Public Community College Act (fall 1977)to provide special grants for disadvantaged student programs to be distributed tocommunity college districts on the basis of enrollment in remedial and developmentalcourses during the previous year. The amendment f.Irther stated that grant funds wouldbe limited to courses and activities related to remedial and developmental programsfor educationally disadvantaged students.

For FY 1979, the Legislature approved a minimum basic grant award of $15,000 to eachcollege with the remining funds being distributed proportionately to the districtsbased on the previous year's enrollment in remedial/developmental courses. For FY1979, $3,800,000 was appropriated for Disadvantaged Student Grants.

In FY 1980 the appropriation grew to $4,700,000, an increase of $900,000 overFY 1979. Thus, we have seen the Disadvantaged Student Grant Program grow from anappropriation of $1,400,000 in FY 1973 to $4,700,000 in FY 1980. The distributionmethod for FY 1980 remains the same as FY 1979.

Table I on Page 3 is designed to show a summary of Slate funds by district approvedfor the Disadvantaged Student Grants FY 1973 through FY 1980.

PEOPLE

Of All Ages

"Great Grandmother Receives General Education Development (GED) Diploma--Among thomany highlights of the Adult Basic F'ucation program at Kishwaukee College, one thatis especially noteworthy, centers on Amanda. Amanda, a lifelong resident of Chana,Illinois, had wanted to finish her high school training for over 50 years. However,her full-time devotion to rearing her family and working on the farm prevented herfrom doing so until this year. At the age of 71, Amanda accomplished her lifelonggoal through the Adult Basic Education Program."

"At Rock Valley College, a number of 'exemplary accomplishments' of students in theReading Skills Program may be recorded. One thinks of a Capron High School studentwhorode onhisble ten miles one way to attend class and of a senior citizen at SaintsPeter & Paul Apostles Catholic Church who has attended Rock Valley College readingclasses for five years, and has been able to raise her reading level from second toninth grade during this time."

"Members and relatives from the same family upgraded their education through theirstudies at Sauk Valley College. For example, ten husbands and wives completed theprogram. A mother and daughter received their GED diplomas together. A brother andtwo sisters earned their GED's within a few days of each other. Student continUeto rate the program highly. Especially noteworthy was a poem written b a studentwho finally completed he'r GED, thus achieving a lifelong goal. She plans to enrollin a Criminal Justice program. She read her poem about the program at the annualrecognition dinner heTd for graduates of the Adult Learning Center."

"A GED student returning to Thornton Community College after a divorce soughttutoring help in preparing for her GED exam. The tutoring/counseling she receivedenabled her not only to pass the exam, but to build her confidence sufficientlyfor her to enter a regular college program and to succeed in it. The tutoringservice profoundly affected not only her studies but her entir.l*future."

"A significant case outstanding accomplishments concerns a 30-year-old Taiwanesestudent who firs ame to Lincoln Land Community College in 1976 and spent most ofher time learning to read English. Here again, personal determination was extra-ordinary. This student, with extensive one-to-one assistance at the Study SkillsCenter, this year completeJ the first year of the Civil and Environmental EngineeringTeChnology program and is employed for the summer on a surveying team."

ICCB Disadvantaged Student Page 6Grant Program: FY 1979 - FY 1980

Varying Goals

"An interesting project undertaken by the Tritot College Adult Bagic Educationprogram (into which Disadvantaged Student Grant/Funds are channelled) was the1st Annual GED Commencement Exercise. Fifty-seven individuals ages 18-75 whopassed the GED exam electeCto take part in the ceremony. Each person was ob-viously proud of the accomplishment but none was prouder than a 75-year-oldgrandmother who was surrounded by her children and grandchildren. After theceremony was completed the family presented her with a dozen red roses and aT-shirt with the words 'Super Grandma' on the front and 'The Graduate, 1912-1979'on the back. It was obvious to the members of the platform party that the joy ofone family was worth the entire evening. While this family's experience was special,certainly the experiences of all otner participants would serve equally well.It was d memorable evening." -

"One noteworthy achievement of a person being served by the Highland CommunityCollege's GED program was the election of a GED graduate to the College's Boardof Trustees."

"Three hundred people listened attentively as a list of names was read. Sixty-five nervous, happy faces looked down on the audience from a brightly lit stagewhile a pianist played.Moussorgsky's Gates of Kiev. The whole auditorium held anair of genteel expectation. A well-dressed master of ceremonies announced that theGovernor of Illinois had wired his regrets at being unable to attend the ceremonybut sent his warmest personal regards to the graduates. A university commencementexercise? No-. Bob Baker was conducting Highland College's sixth annual recognitionceremony honoring 110 GED graduates. Dr. Howard Sims assured his listeners thatthe values demonstrated in,the obtaining of a GED certificate are known and under-stood by future employers. These values are: the ability to assimilate knowledge,persistence in reaching goals, and self-determinination. Such values are highly .

esteemed in every walk of life."

"One student who attended Olney Central College was incarcerated and returned tocomplete a vocational program. In addition, there were ten to twelve students intheir mid-age years who entered college to either begin career training or to entera hew career; most of these entered the secretarial/clerical programs. Many werenot academically prepared and were also low in self-confidence."

"Frank had worked in countless migrant camps ir both Illinois and Michigan beforehe and his family decided to remain in Ogle County in 1977. In Spite of countlesspersonal problems parents must encounter in returning to school, both he and hiswife completed the necessary State requirements to receive their high schooldiplomas while attending Adult Basic Education classes at Kishwaukee College in1978. Frank also has completed all course requirements and graduated from theHorticulture Department at Kishwaukee College in the spring of 1979."

Different Educational Levels

"Francis attended her first Adult Basic Education. (ABE)'class at Kishwaukee,Collegein 1976. She read at the first-grade level and knew little Of mathematical concepts%In spite of poor health, and a severe hearing loss, she has f4ithfully continued toattend classes for six semesters. She now manages a.budget, keeps an accurateaccount of her banking records, and is often seen carrying the local newspaper:"

"An outreach prograilt offered through Danville Area Community College was providedfor older adults, the majority being, illiterate and who had through the yearssigned their names with an 'X'. A total of twenty-two persons participated. Onestudent who had been driving a car for years exclaimed after participating in thisprogram for stx months, 'Now I can read the signs on the highway'."

"A young black lady, 19 years old, who graduated from a special education programin high school, has been seeking assistance for two years through Lincoln LandCommunity College. It has been a slow and at times difficult procelss for,ber, bu,t-her determination has been outstanding. Because of the benefits of much iraivia-alized help, cooperation of instructions to provide materials and allow her towork under extended time frames, this spring she was able--for the first time--tocomplete ten hours of classes in the Child Care pro;ram. Her ability to retaininformation and to comply with regular course requirements had increased steadily.Needless to say, her self-esteem and confidence have also increased."

"A 16-year-old boy has been in trouble many times, reform school, and his parentswould refuse to send him to school or help him in any way. This boy was broughtto me by the law enforcement officers. I visited him twice a week in jail, givinghim tests, reading assignments, etc. After three weeks, the police would bring himto my classes and return him to jail. After two months, he was released from jail,but still attends classes three times each week at my home, as well as two hoursa week in the on-campus Learning Center. He has a great mind and learns quicklyand well. Calls at all hours to tell me the bad things he has resisted doing:"

Personal Needs

"A 48-year-old man who cduld-not read or write, could only count to 100 by rote andwho could not idehtify individual numerals, has found new meaning to life. He hashad 10 months of classes at Wabash'Valley College (3 houi.s per week)--can now soundout wurds, read second=grade level, and has learned phonics. He can also add, sub-

,tract, multiply and is learning Tong division."

"A 32-year-old woman from Thailand.who refused to.learn English or participate inAmerican life was having a diffitult time in her home. Her American husband wasconsidering divorce because of the effect -on.their'four children. I visited herhome Nally times and convinced her to 'visit' my classes. Within three weeks, shewas trying to communicate with other students, she watched closely as'I explainedthings she could do to help her children (using my granddaughter as a. model). Aftersix months, she is speaking English well enough to be understood, has conferenceswith her children's teachers, takes the children swimming,,cooks American dishes,and loves shopping centers. Happy family::"

"Two women, 17 and 31 years of age, were ADC recipients. 'Their-lifestyle and childneglect through ignorance had.prompted Children and Family Services (CFS) to considerremoving their young children from their homes, They enrolled in two other WabashValley College classes and worked with CFS to put homemakers in the homes for.athree-month period. The interchange of ideas, discussion of problems of children andhousekeeping that many class members had in after-class 'gab session' helped theseladies a great deal. Almost a year later, they are both employed, lead happyproductive lives, homes are clean, children are.clean and happy, and CFS'has put bothcases in 'closed' files."

"Hector came to the United States in 1978. He had no knowledge of the Englishlanguage and attended our English as a Second Language clAt for 'one/term. Whilestudying English, he.heard of our GED class offered in Spanish and shortly aftercompleted the necessary requirements to obtain his diploma. He was awarded a $200scholarship in 1978 from the Illinois Migeant Ministry. He intends to prepare himself-this year with ample English vocabulary to complete his training in the area ofAutomotive Technology."

PROGRAMS

With Various Kinds of Activities

Recr_Oment . .

"Another new program was the employment of a recruiter to call on the

Public Aid.eligible persons for adult educatlon benefits. The enroll-

ment at Black Hawk College increased from six students in 1978 to 21

in 1979 with four of plose completing their GED studies. According to

Public Aid officials this number of students enrolled represented 20%

of those eligible in this rural community and they felt it was signi-

ficant. Our recruiter was a GED graduate of our program employed through

the CETA program." 4 .

Outreach . . .

"Four ladies from a neighboring town who quit schodl in the 9th and 10th

.grades, who are 'in their 30'si were referred to Wabash Valley College.

They had not worked outside the home, nor continued sch in until two

years when tfiey tried attending GED classes two separa e towns. They

were soon discouraged and quit. Eight months ago tiiey came to my class

with a friend to 'visit', promptly enrolled, and attended at least two

classes a week. They now their GED certificates (made top scores) and

all are pre-registered for full-time college at WVC for the fall qudrter."

"A middle-aged businessman with a long-established retail store, head

of civic clubs, etc. came to me four weeks ago to say-he could not

read or spell. We have now established a particular reading disability

and are beginning to show success in overcoming this." ,

Special Services

"An outstanding student accomplishment concerns a 39-year-old male stUdent

with dyslexia. StudY'Skills Center staff worked closely with him,and

helped him adapti-study techniques to fit his special needs. He had already

made arrangements for books on tape. At the Center he developed methodsof

outlining on tape his reading asEignments and des lectures to facilitate

reviewing. Arrangements for having tests read were also provi'ded, in coope.-

ation with fatulty. He has been able to compleig three courses per semestet

and has completed 43 credit hoUrs towards a degree with a 3.e1 grade point

Linkages with Community

"A noteworthy group of persons served this year was an ABE/GED classof inmates at the Adams County Jail which is served by John Wond Com-munity.College, Quincy, Illinois. A total of twelve inmates participatedin ttlis programiwith all of them improving their reading levels by at leastone level and several by at least two levels. 'Commencement' exerciseswere held every two months to recognize the achievement of the inmates,and a Certificate of Achievement was presented to every inmate who hadadvanced at least one grade level since the last ceremony.

NUMBER OF STUDENTS BY RACIAL/ETHNIC ORIGIN,SEX & AGE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1979

TABLE V,ANALYSIS

Table V on Page 19 gives the number nf students by racial/ethnic origin, sex, andage. Not all colleges had this information available in 1979. Table V reflectsall reported data.

Collecting student characteristics information poses a problem for the Disadvan-taged Student Program. For students enrolled in remedial/developmental courses,this information is more readily available; however, for many other activities andservices provided under the programs, participants are notcrequired to furnish thisdata.

As shown below, a comparison of students by ethnic or4gin enrolled in DisadvantagedStudent Programs with All students enrolled in community colleges shows. thatDisadvantaged Student Programs are serving a higher proportion of minority studentsin two categories and a lower proportion in three categories. These figures reflectonly those students with specific ethnic origin and do not reflect the unknowncategory, which is 45.7% of the total number of students served in the DisadvantagedStudent Program.,

Disadvantaged Student Program enrollments contain 56.6% women while men comprise43.4%. .This figure does not reflect the unknown category, which is 53.6% of thetotal number of students served in the Disadvantaged Student Program. The enrollmentof women in Disadvantaged Studen:. Programs is slightly higher than the 55.3% femaleenrollment in all programs in community colleges.

Students in all age categories served by Disadvantaged Student Programs are somewhatsimilar in all age categories to community colleges with the exception of a higheepercentage of students in the 35-44, 45-64, and 65-over categories as indicated below.

PART IV

SUMMARY AND PROJECTIONS

The increase from $1,375,537 in FY 1973 to $4,700,000 in FY 1980 represents asizable increase in State funding for the Disadvantaged Student Grant Program.This increase has given improved services to students both in numbers servedand scope of the program.

The grant application package and annual report for FY 1979 focused on measurableobjectives which include:

a'. Number of students served in remedial/developmental courses.b. Number of students served in other activities (counseling, tutoring,

testing).c. Special groups served.d. The nature of the outcomes (knowledge development, skills improved, etc.)e. Methods of evaluation to measure the program.

The colleges were also asked in the annual report to describe any unique or exemplaryaccomplishments, anecdotal situations, or any noteworthy achievement of a person orgroup of persons served by the Disadvantaged Student Grant Program. These shortstories of real people reaching goals and dreams tell the real succeSs story of thevalue of the Disadvantaged Student Grant Program.

Future projections for the FY 1980 Disadvantaged Student Grant look progressive.Theee appears to be heightened interest in serving disadvantaged students amongState educational agenries. Some of these specific educational needs for disad-vantaged students can be met through the continued funding of the DisadvantagedStudent Grant Program.

As we move into the 1980's, we must address the concerns of all students, especiallythose who are least inclined to attend. This student population can differ withincommunities. The population may be comprised of minorities, economically disadvan-taged, high school drop-outs, displaced homemakers, low achievers in a degreeprogram, unskilled, limited English speaking, underskilled, and the ever increasingadult part-time student who wants to improve career opportunities.

The Disadvantaged Student Grant Program has the abiltty to address these needsthrough linkages with the communities in activities of vigorous recruitment andoutreach efforts, creation of teaching materials, and offering of special courses.

Meeting specific needs of the disadvantaged student is clearly a part of the missionof the comprehensive community college. It is for this reason that State funds

to support this important program are essential.
