The SUNY FMCC Liberty partnerships Program provides students with a range of services structured to facilitate their ability to persist through high school completion and admissions as competitive candidates for post-secondary education and the workforce
The Liberty Partnerships Program (LPP) is a state grant hosted by SUNY Fulton-Montgomery Community College in collaboration with the Greater Amsterdam School District and community agencies. A New York State Education Department grant funded initiative, Liberty Partnerships Program is a comprehensive academic excellence program designed for middle and high school students. Our purpose is to ensure that the students of Liberty Partnerships Program graduate from high school and enter post-secondary education and the workforce as highly competent and compassionate young adults.
Here at LPP, there is always an open ear to listen, always a shoulder to lean on for support, and plenty of encouraging staff for students.
The Liberty Partnerships Program (LPP) was established in 1988 under section 612, Subdivision 6 of the Education Law to address the significant dropout rate among New York’s youth.
The Legislation state, “the failure of many young New Yorker’s to complete their secondary education limits their opportunity for a life of fulfillment, prevents them from advancing into post-secondary education, and hinders the State’s efforts to provide a well-trained workforce for business and industry in New York.”
