framework

[smk]

Do sentences 1 and 2 have the same meaning? I have emboldened the differences in each. I think they mean the same even though #1 is a bit verbose.

1) "I want to join the study group because it offers a structured framework from which I can improve my grades."

2) "I want to join the study group because it offers a structured framework to improve my grades."
