Welcome
The Office of K-16 Initiatives and Access Programs administers approximately 90 million dollars in grants, contracts and scholarships to colleges and universities; schools, school districts and BOCES; community based and non-profit organizations; and students.
The Office provides technical assistance on innovative strategies to:
- Improve college graduation rates for ethnic, cultural and other underrepresented and or disadvantaged students; and
- Close the gap for students in need of academic intervention services to meet the Regents graduation requirements.
To accomplish this, the Office of K-16 Initiatives and Access Programs coordinates its efforts through three operational units.
