ACC makes childcare scholarships available to low-income student parents. The core features of the childcare scholarship program are 1) case management and 2) parent choice. Students who accept a childcare scholarship must agree to participate in intensive case management with a Student Advocate to help with clarity of goals and decisionmaking, referrals to additional supports and on-going problem-solving and personal support. Students who receive the scholarship may select the childcare provider of their choice. ACC arranges for payment directly with the provider. Students must pay the difference between the amount of their scholarship and the total cost of care charged by the provider. The goals of the childcare scholarships are 1) to improve the semester to semester persistence rates of student parents and 2) to improve the graduation rates of student parents. Funding for the program come from ACC's Perkins grant and from institutional sources.

The First Year Institute Seminar’s goal is to teach students “how to be a college student.” We examine factors that underlie learning, success, and personal development in higher education. Topics covered include information processing, memory, strategic learning, self-regulation, goal setting, motivation, educational and career planning, and learning styles. Techniques of study such as time management, listening and note taking, text marking, library, 0and research skills, preparing for examinations, and utilizing learning resources are covered. Includes courses in college orientation and developments of students’ academic skills that apply to all disciplines. All first semester freshmen must enroll in the course during their first semester of college. A final grade of C or higher is required, or the student must repeat the course. Our Learning Framework Capstone is meant to prepare students for transfer and or the workforce. This course includes 1) research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation; 2) factors that impact learning; and 3) application of learning strategies. Theoretical models of strategic learning, cognition, and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of college-level student academic strategies. Students use assessment instruments (e.g., learning inventories) to help them identify their own strengths and weaknesses as strategic learners. Students are ultimately expected to integrate and apply the learning skills discussed across their own academic programs and become effective and efficient learners. Students developing these skills should be able to draw continually from the theoretical models they have learned. (Cross listed as PSYC 1100). (NOTE: While traditional study skills courses include some of the same learning strategies, e.g., note-taking, reading, test preparation as learning framework courses, the focus of study skills courses is solely or primarily on skill acquisition. Study skills courses, which are not under-girded by scholarly models of the learning process, are not considered college-level and therefore are distinguishable from Learning Framework courses.)

For first-generation college students, adjusting to college can be difficult and may lead to lower graduation rates. Despite the availability of resources on-campus at St. Edward's University, there were obstacles that often prevented its first-generation college students from making the best use of resources. In response to this, in 2020, St. Edward's University implemented programming to remove barriers to success for students who are first in the family to go to college. Recognizing that there is financial need, little family background in higher education, and social and academic stress, First to GOat provides holistic programming that emphasizes mentoring, building community and belonging, leadership and character development, academic and career readiness, financial assistance and literacy, and personal health and wellness. First to GOat develops
and provides a supportive, inclusive community that values and celebrates their identity.

Get to the Finish Line was developed to benefit students that are currently attending or have attended Laredo College within the past two years. Students who were forced to suspend their academic coursework due to financial adversity would be targeted beneficiaries of this program. In order to reach a higher number of participants, we encourage students from any major to be part of our program. While many students have exhausted their financial aid awards due to reaching the maximum allowable hours by federal regulations, other students may not qualify for any type of need-based assistance due to their Expected Family Contribution (EFC), but still be financially unable to cover the cost of their classes. These aspects of the federal financial aid regulations do not allow students to complete their education. The funds made available by this program will facilitate the assistance of a minimum of 120 students for one year. The Laredo College Financial Aid Office as well as the Laredo College Student Success Center will play an integral role in this program’s success.
