About the Plus 50 Completion Strategy


The American Association of Community Colleges’ (AACC) Plus 50 Completion Strategy on the Plus 50 Initiative, will help 9,000 older adults complete a community college degree or certificate. The strategy uses existing tools to help students over 50 who have had some college credits navigate through the college system, and aims to bring 40 percent of them to completion by 2014.

The Plus 50 Completion Strategy is funded with a four-year grant from Lumina Foundation. The grant to AACC is part of a commitment by Lumina Foundation involving 19 organizations working strategically to help adult learners complete college. The Lumina Foundation grant builds on the successful Plus 50 Initiative launched by AACC in 2008 and funded by The Atlantic Philanthropies. Support from The Atlantic Philanthropies augments the new Plus 50 Completion Initiative.
