The Laker Success program is made possible through a competitive Select Student Support Services (4S) grant awarded through the King Chavez Parks (KCP) Initiative of the State of Michigan. The 4S Program is designed to develop retention programs to benefit students from academically or economically disadvantaged backgrounds who are enrolled at four-year public and independent educational institutions throughout Michigan.
The 4S Program aims to increase graduation rates by providing seed money to catalyze institutional change, stimulate more coordinated efforts within institutions, and permanently ensure measurable short- and long-term improvements in graduation rates of targeted students.
