These competitive grants are awarded to assist schools in creating programs and systems to enhance the academic success and holistic experience of student-athletes. WIU student-athletes' retention and graduation rates, a year-long holistic review of athletics' compliance and academic procedures, interviews with student-athletes, academic advisors, coaches, and faculty, and input from the Academic Progress Rate Improvement Team, comprised of WIU administrators and staff, was used to develop the grant application.
