For professors & departments
Bring G.R.I.T. into your course.
Assign a G.R.I.T. course as a module, track who finished, and send scores to your gradebook. Only 64% of bachelor’s students finish within six years (NCES); see the research.

Teacher education
Pre-service teachers learn the G.R.I.T. Framework they’ll use in K–12 classrooms, aligned to Florida Resiliency and National Health Education Standards.
Athletics, TRIO & mentoring
Courses for athletes, coaches, mentors and leaders support first-generation students, student-athletes and peer mentors.
