The Marist University Liberty Partnerships Program (LPP) is a dropout prevention and college access program that is funded by the New York State Education Department. It has been sponsored by Marist since 1990. Marist LPP serves 341 underrepresented students (grades 5-12) in the Poughkeepsie City School District. Marist University LPP is committed to the belief that all students can learn and should have equal access to resources.
Marist University LPP strives to help its students excel in and out of the classroom so that they can globally compete in the 21st century. Its goals are to prepare students for:
high school completion
careers
college-level work
To achieve its goals, Marist University LPP provides students with an array of services to improve their academic, social, emotional, and career skills. Marist LPP also provides LPP students (statewide) with a 50% tuition scholarship to Marist (based on LPP participation and Marist Admission guidelines).
Marist University LPP is a hybrid program that provides twelve months of services. Services are provided to the Poughkeepsie City School District students through partnerships with Marist, community entities, business organizations, and parents. Marist students serve as tutors, interns, mentors, and volunteers. Marist University LPP students receive free services once they are referred and enrolled in the program. School administrators, educators, guidance counselors, and parents refer young people who would benefit from the program (based on the New York State Education Department's criteria for at-risk factors). Since its inception, Marist University LPP graduates consistently credit LPP with helping them graduate high school, enter college, and/or enter the workforce.
