Closing the College Access Gap Study

This report profiles strategies progressive institutions are deploying to support low-income and minority students on the path to a postsecondary institution that is most likely to support their success.

Disparities in postsecondary degree attainment have grown or remained unchanged over recent years, as underrepresented students disproportionately enroll in institutions that are unlikely to support them to graduation.

The good news: A sizeable difference in high school students’ educational trajectory can be made even at this late stage in their education.

Based on interviews with more than 100 K–12 leaders representing school districts and organizations nationwide, this study explores 14 practices in depth to improve college access for low-income and minority students. Download the full study or explore each section below.
