Description: "This report presents the early results of a program in Louisiana designed to help low-income parents attending community college cover more of their expenses and also provide a financial incentive to make good progress. The program, known as Opening Doors, operated at two New Orleans-area institutions -- Delgado Community College and Louisiana Technical College-West Jefferson -- in 2004-2005, before Hurricane Katrina devastated the region."--overview.
