College Access

No student should feel that college is out of reach. But the journey is complicated – and when students can’t see a clear path forward, they can lose momentum and access. Continuous improvement helps us build support into the system – so all young people can take meaningful steps toward a choice-filled future.

For many students and families, applying to college can feel like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. It can be daunting for students even to imagine and evaluate college environments where they could thrive – let alone take the steps to get there. The process can push many young people – especially first-generation students – toward thinking maybe they just aren’t “college material” after all.

Our existing application systems simply aren’t designed to promote clarity or confidence for students. That’s where we improvers come in.

Through continuous improvement, we’re changing how this process works for young people and their families. We’re building ideas to demystify and scaffold each step. We’re finding ways to provide the knowledge, support, and encouragement students need to navigate their options, applications, financial aid, and college decisions.

Together, we can design systems that help every young person make exciting, empowered choices about their future. Join in – and let’s connect all our students with all their opportunities.
