THERE IS A CRISIS

Bright, thoughtful and hard-working students from underrepresented backgrounds have been excluded from the college experience for too long.

Additionally, once accepted, colleges and universities have struggled to meet the needs of these underrepresented students.

We need your help to address this inequality to change the lives of students and transform the higher education landscape.

82% of individuals

from the top quartile of income attain degrees by age 24

Only 8%

from the bottom quartile attain degrees in the same time  (NYT, “Reproduction of Privilege” 3/12/12)

60% of students

from the general population graduate within 6 years

Only 10%

of low-income first generation students do so (Education Advisory Board, 4/29/19)
