Announcing one of our top awardees from the 2023 grant cycle, IN! Pathways to Inclusive Higher Education! We are overjoyed to support this organization for the third year whose mission is to create inclusive college opportunities in Colorado for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities to foster academic growth, social development, career advancement, and independence. DB's grant will help IN! to fund outreach, engagement, and mentorship that supports students with IDD in southern Colorado on inclusive pathways to achieve self-growth, academic and career advancement, and independent living. "Studies show that students with IDD who were given opportunities to attend and complete higher education achieved a 72-80% employment rate. When given the opportunity, students with IDD benefit greatly from post-secondary education and experience increased access to meaningful socialization, community belonging, independence, and employment" (Tracy Murphy, Executive Director of IN!).
