There are plenty of simple ways to help your community, but only a few that go down to the source, which the University of Wisconsin System is doing with a set of 18 grants that will help growth in higher education, enrollment, retention, produce more graduates, stimulate more well-paying jobs, which will in turn strengthen the surrounding community. The projected amount of funding that will go into these grants next year is $1 million. By getting to the level where directly effecting the citizens means educating them, then they will have predisposed knowledge and experience to help themselves and others want to learn and work. This could create a great sense of a strengthened community and if the majority of citizens are focused on positives like work and schooling, then there is less likely to be a high rate of crime, education drop-outs and people who just don’t care. Though this method isn’t proven or guaranteed, it has to be just as if not more effective compared to the methods we have been demonstrating for so long and if they can keep the grants coming in, then this could prove to be the most successful method.

“We need to reach out to people that are not always represented here on campus,” University of Wisconsin System spokesperson, David Giroux, said. “First-generation students, low-income and minority students; in various ways these populations in Wisconsin are not well represented on college campuses.”.We have a tremendous obligation to the men and women who have served our country, but we also know these people have unique needs.”
