Q3: Another notable barrier is one that may come after doing all the right things-- hidden, occupational licensing barriers that can hijack opportunities for qualified people. #SecondChancePellChat

How can we as advocates address losing students to mediocre employment opportunities over completing degrees? It's hard to say no to $ when you haven't had these opportunities for years in prison. #SecondChancePellChat

A2: Barriers are broad, and can be based in law, policy, and culture--including financial barriers (e.g. cost of instruction), policy barriers (institution doesn’t allow courses), to practical barriers (courses are too basic or advanced). #SecondChancePellChat @VeraInstitute @RSI

Project Rebound has been supporting formerly incarcerated students at San Francisco State University for 50 years. Formerly incarcerated scholars must be supported while transitioning into and out of college, as well as in securing higher ed teaching roles #SecondChancePellChat

Three years ago this month, the @USEDgov announced the #SecondChancePell Experimental Sites Initiative, which lifted the federal ban on Pell Grants for people in prison for select sites. Join us: @VeraInstitute hosts #SecondChancePellChat on Tuesday, July 31 at 3PM ET.
