JFF and Ascendium Announce Ready for Pell Initiative

JFF is excited to announce our partnership with Ascendium Education Group<https://email.jff.org/e3t/Btc/GF+113/d2j6KB04/VW9YJ83LM4G7W9gtRn52l5njvW2H1VMy4yT22ZN2XT73B5nCT_V3Zsc37CgQH5N22hpmt3rkbqN8Nk1cN-GnchW61xxmm51V45ZW8nNkRP7ybHkWW6J-yl14W7P-rW1Z87LT818R5xW9fD68t2fsPstN7127JSjhQV8W4q-ClG7qR-7jW3RNZ2z138vdBW8RLM6_4L2G-4W7gNkTK4NxwYZVshc337yC3VRW79Fj7Y4C8068W5qh3zt7wySx7W2c9kq-6sdlx6W2X1m1P1PHQMnW3QCVc245HGh-W5gp_l46vt9gMW7VS9Yc97-sDWN44s4JyskmJWW7drCv15cq8DPW4jSR1Q5CFfYhVFSGYL60QygkW5Mj87z6J86yLW3Jy3z23Y12SwW6pJ7HY51ws4rW5BDfJL4XsG7vW1dPWGx89Dh02W5wNQpB78-RScW5zH4wq3rlRFyW4Y20_13nt5zCMVvZmZ7ZHjXW269dxP2BWFpS3hWn1> to support “Ready for Pell,” a two-year, $4.7 million initiative to strengthen postsecondary education programs for students who are incarcerated.

The program is designed to strengthen emerging postsecondary education in prison programs in advance of the full restoration of Pell Grant eligibility for people in prison in the 2023-24 academic year. Ready for Pell will provide grants of up to $125,000 to postsecondary education programs in prisons or across systems. JFF will release a request for proposals for interested programs to apply; convene a Ready for Pell advisory board of leaders from the field; and select, support, and work with an independent evaluator to gather insights from the participating sites.

“For these recently established programs planning to leverage Pell as a new funding source, now is a critical time to build a strong foundation for supporting students and ensuring quality,” said Amy Kerwin, Ascendium’s vice president — education philanthropy. People who participate in college-in-prison programs are far more likely to find stable, family-supporting employment after their release and far less likely to return to prison.

JFF has substantial experience supporting innovations in postsecondary education. It has leveraged this experience to provide technical assistance to improve education opportunities and outcomes for returning citizens and students who are incarcerated through its Improved Reentry Education program and Juvenile Justice Reentry Education Projects with the U.S. Department of Education.

“We are excited to bring the depth of JFF’s significant work in advancing postsecondary attainment and our extensive experience working with people who are incarcerated to an opportunity that’s long overdue,” said Lucretia Murphy, JFF’s senior director leading the project. “The outcomes from this initiative have the potential to scale and transform postsecondary education for learners who are incarcerated, benefitting those individuals, their future employers, and the public at large.”
