AYES: Director Hazen; Director Matthews, Director Grimm, NOES: 0 ABSTAIN: 0 ABSENT: President Solomon Motion Passed Grant Coachella Valley Economic Partnership - Consideration to Approve $244,500 in Support for the Pathways to Success Matching Scholarship Program. Director Grimm reported that the Program Committee had an interactive discussion on the return on investment of the scholarship program and what options the committee could recommend to the Board. After in-depth consideration, the Program Committee recommends that the Board not fund the grant as presented but instead develop a student loan repayment program rather than funding the current scholarship program. Ms. Greco defined the loan repayment program as paying off student loans received from other funders, such as the federal government, up to a designated dollar amount, after the student graduates with a degree in a health field, returns to the Coachella Valley, and works In that field for a designated amount of time (perhaps in the range of 2-4 years). Ms. Thornton reported the historically higher college graduation rates of the cohorts over the national average. She acknowledged, however, that the majority of the DHCD scholarship recipients are still enrolled in college, and therefore their future college graduation rate cannot yet be ascertained. Further, Ms. Thornton indicated that it is difficult to track some of the students, especially once they do graduate. Ms. Greco reminded the Board that the strategy was to improve the healthcare workforce in the valley. The District does not know if that strategy is being met. Director Matthews inquired if tabling this item would cause a timing issue for the students. CVEP staff responded that the graduating students need to select their college with a few weeks and knowing what kind of assistance they will receive can determine their choice. Ms. Thornton stated that if the program did not receive the match from DHCD they would use other funders to meet the match for the College Access Foundation funds, however there is no guarantee the scholarships would be for health related majors or that they would be District residents. Ms. Greco confirmed with CVEP staff that the students would have time to become eligible for student loans. Director Hazen reminded the Board that the District signed on as a matching partner with The California Access Foundation until 2018 and the District should honor its commitment. She felt that the District should continue on and ask staff to improve on our singular goal and tighten up the process. This was the beginning of collective impact, she indicated, Page 30f6
