The Office of K-16 Initiatives and Access Programs administers over 135 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: 

1. Improve college graduation rates for ethnic, cultural and other underrepresented and or disadvantaged students; and

2. 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.
