They are “low hanging fruit” for degree completion.

NSCC SEM Meeting| Environmental Scan Seattle Community Colleges College Bound Scholars Have a Ticket To Ride College Bound Scholarship recipients have a 4-year college education paid for plus a book stipend. Many college-bound scholars may be place- bound and may not be able to get into a 4-year directly from high school. Others may choose to get an AA degree instead. The numbers of college- bound scholars is increasing. College Bound Graduating Classes ExpectedFranklinGarfield Graduating YearHS Source: CCER from HECB and OSPI data.

NSCC SEM Meeting| Environmental Scan Seattle Community Colleges Positioning as a Baccalaureate-Granting Institution Washington has not increased its Baccalaureate capacity since the 1990’s with the creation of the branch campuses. The state ranks 40 th out of 50 states and DC in the production of baccalaureate degrees per 1,000 population (HECB, Key Facts). University Centers and BAS degrees are great ways to reposition a community college as a baccalaureate-granting institution. Community colleges are in the unique position to reach place-bound students, first-generation students, and economically disadvantaged students. NSCC has a head start because it has so many BA degree holders on campus as students, and it has strong transfer education capacity.
