Student-Focused Funding Model Implementation
FUNDING POOLS
IMPACT
High-Quality Degree Production
College graduates have a significant positive impact on the state's
economy.
•
Their earnings tend to be higher than those of high school
graduates without a postsecondary credential.
Additionally, employers looking to relocate to West Virginia are more
likely to do so if they can draw new employees from a highly skilled
and educated workforce.
•
Because of the important role that educational attainment plays in
economic growth, the IMPACT pool rewards institutions for helping
West Virginia residents achieve the college dream.
The model rewards institutions that graduate non-resident students
who decide to join West Virginia's workforce. The model also
drives additional dollars toward degrees in high-demand fields such
as teacher education, engineering and healthcare.
