马萨诸塞州拨款1400万美元助州立大学学生完成学业：覆盖9所大学至少8000名学生
马萨诸塞州州长 Maura Healey 于10月22日宣布，通过「州立大学 SUCCESS 计划」（SU SUCCESS）拨款1400万美元，帮助州立大学学生完成学位、顺利毕业，预计今年覆盖全州至少8000名学生。
其中约1330万美元直接拨给9所州立大学用于学生支持项目，其余用于全州层面的实施与独立评估；各校金额按在校生规模与佩尔助学金资格学生人数等因素分配：Bridgewater 州立大学获302.3万美元为最高，Salem 州立大学205万美元，Worcester 州立大学171.3万美元，Westfield 州立大学153.3万美元，Framingham 州立大学131.6万美元，Fitchburg 州立大学129.8万美元，马萨诸塞艺术与设计学院93.2万美元，马萨诸塞海事学院71.4万美元，马萨诸塞文理学院68.4万美元。
SUCCESS 计划面向有辍学风险的学生，提供一对一学业指导、辅导、同伴导师、职业与奖学金指导，并帮助对接住房、交通、托儿等基本生活资源，预计可惠及各校约四分之一被识别为有风险的学生。Healey 表示，州政府已在让大学更可负担方面作出历史性投入，「现在要确保学生有完成学业所需的支持——没有学生应因一笔意外开支或得不到帮助而放弃学位」。州高等教育厅正与州立大学校长理事会及佐治亚州立大学的国家学生成功研究所合作，向各校提供技术支持，第三方机构 ICF 将对计划成效作独立评估。

Massachusetts Awards $14 Million to Help State University Students Graduate, Reaching at Least 8,000 Students at 9 Universities
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey announced on October 22 that the state will award $14 million through the State University SUCCESS program (SU SUCCESS) to help state university students complete their degrees and graduate, expected to reach at least 8,000 students statewide this year.
About $13.3 million goes directly to nine state universities for student support programs, with the remainder funding statewide implementation and an independent evaluation. Allocations are based on factors including enrollment and the number of Pell Grant-eligible students: Bridgewater State University receives the largest award at $3.023 million, followed by Salem State University at $2.05 million, Worcester State University at $1.713 million, Westfield State University at $1.533 million, Framingham State University at $1.316 million, Fitchburg State University at $1.298 million, Massachusetts College of Art and Design at $932,000, Massachusetts Maritime Academy at $714,000, and Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts at $684,000.
The SUCCESS program serves students at risk of dropping out, offering one-on-one academic advising, tutoring, peer mentoring, career and scholarship guidance, and help connecting to basic needs such as housing, transportation and childcare; it is expected to reach about a quarter of identified at-risk students at each school. Healey said the state has made historic investments in college affordability and must now "make sure students have the support they need to finish — no student should give up a degree because of an unexpected expense or a lack of help." The state Department of Higher Education is working with the State University Council of Presidents and Georgia State University's National Institute for Student Success to provide technical assistance, and the firm ICF will independently evaluate the program's results.
