Hollins will be part of Cristo Rey\u2019s University Partner Program, launched in 2009 to create pathways for Cristo Rey students to access and thrive in postsecondary education.<\/p>\n<p>Rooted in a shared vision for student success, the collaboration will increase college match, access, persistence, and graduation rates among Cristo Rey students and alumnae. Through Hollins\u2019 comprehensive support system, staff resources, and Cristo Rey\u2019s alumni support teams, Cristo Rey students enrolled at Hollins will benefit from a seamless transition and continued success from enrollment through graduation. Hollins will offer competitive financial aid packaging to five to 10 Cristo Rey students, including an annual award that meets no less than 100% of student\u2019s demonstrated need with no required loans for tuition, fees, and on-campus food and housing, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder student success.<\/p>\n<p>The new partnership underscores both organizations\u2019 commitment to fostering academic success, equity, and opportunity for students from families of limited economic means. Cristo Rey students will receive Hollins\u2019 approach of providing boundless opportunity and holistic support to young women, an empowering combination, says Sonya Ramirez, Cristo Rey\u2019s Director of University Partnerships. \u201cThis collaboration offers our students a unique postsecondary pathway to grow and develop into the next generation of female leaders,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>n January, Hollins University launched a new partnership with the Cristo Rey Network, a distinguished network of 40 college preparatory high schools serving students with limited economic resources across the country.
