THECB - Lumina Regional Meetings

Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board

Lumina Regional Meetings

In December 2009 the Lumina Foundation for Education awarded the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board a Making Opportunity Affordable (MOA) Grant worth $1.8 million over four years. The purpose of the grant is to identify strategies and reach consensus on solutions that best use limited resources and advance student success.

In order to achieve the goals of the grant, the Coordinating Board decided to engage in activities primarily designed to build critical stakeholder support for new ways of delivering higher education at lower costs to students and taxpayers, increasing and rewarding completion, generating and reinvesting savings, and educating and training in affordable ways.

One of these activities includes holding a series of regional meetings that provide relevant and timely higher education data to business, community, elected, and higher education leaders in order to build regional consensus for a student success agenda that includes reforming higher education funding models.
