Title III is a federally-funded program from the Department of Education that supports improvements in educational quality, management, and financial stability at qualifying postsecondary institutions. Gateway Community and Technical College was awarded a five-year, $1.6 million, grant in 2004 to address student needs. The grant has three components to meet the mission of Gateway community and Technical College:

• Strengthening Instructional Programs strengthens developmental studies by infusing the courses with strategies for learning styles and computer-assisted instruction in order to address the needs of at-risk students. These instructional strategies will then be added to the introductory “gateway” courses in the academic and technical degree fields.
   

• Strengthening Student Support Services includes a wide array of services geared toward the at-risk student including early intervention, student tracking, intrusive advising, career planning , student workshops and outcomes assessment.
   

• Faculty/Staff Professional Development is the foundation of the other components and will provide training programs in pedagogy, methodology and technology to the faculty and staff. These strategies will be designed to assist the instructors to better reach “at risk” students in their classrooms.
