but was still short the money he needed to pay for college.</span> <span data-start-time='9042' data-end-time='18896'>Mulvenna, 21, a junior at Georgia State University in Atlanta, got a small gift of money from his college.</span> <span data-start-time='18896' data-end-time='23625'>That allowed him to live at school and attend class.</span> <span data-start-time='23625' data-end-time='36563'>Georgia State used the gifts, usually under $1,000, and other programs to increase graduation rates by 22 percentage points since 2006.</span> <span data-start-time='36563' data-end-time='48042'>The school also watches student performance for early signs of trouble, such as missing classes, not completing work, or low test scores.</span> <span data-start-time='48042' data-end-time='58083'>The idea, said Vice Provost Timothy Renick, is to help before problems grow and force students to leave school.</span> <span data-start-time='58083' data-end-time='67104'>About

college before graduating.</span> <span data-start-time='72417' data-end-time='80042'>At Georgia State, the rate is 55 percent, but much higher than 10 years ago.</span> <span data-start-time='80042' data-end-time='86521'>Georgia State is a school with 50,000 students, including many minority students.</span> <span data-start-time='86521' data-end-time='90542'>They are often the first in their families to attend college.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back' class='back'
