Funding for the Mellon Pathways Program ended on May 31, 2026. This program has provided a community of support for hundreds of community college transfer students, and we are proud of the work we have completed in the last six years. We are continually thankful for the support from the Mellon Foundation, the Virginia Community College System and Virginia Commonwealth University.

Although funding for the Mellon Pathways Program has ended, the Virginia Community College System has been awarded funding from the Mellon Foundation to launch the Mellon Faculty Research Fellows Initiative which will provide research opportunities for community college faculty and student mentees across the state. We are thankful to the Mellon Foundation for their continual support of community colleges, their students and faculty.
