Talent is distributed equally. Opportunity is not.

For more than 25 years, College Success Foundation has partnered with schools and communities to help students access postsecondary education, persist and complete degrees, and build pathways to economic mobility.

Last year, we supported more than 10,000 students from high school through college and into their careers, building on more than 13,000 college graduates and counting.

Our north star is economic mobility.

We believe there are many paths to a degree. The road to a bachelor’s degree can include community college, apprenticeships, or stackable credentials. But the finish line isn’t the degree itself.

What matters is a bachelor’s degree that opens the door to a livable wage and a real path forward.

There’s a gap between aspiration and access.

Nearly 9 in 10 students want to continue their education after high school.

About only half enroll in a two- or four-year program.

74% of students who participate in our college services programming directly enroll in postsecondary education, nearly double the statewide rate for low-income students.*

Students from low-income backgrounds, first-generation college students, and students of color face disproportionate barriers on their paths to a degree. College Success Foundation helps remove those barriers and guides students through the critical transition from high school to college.

Coaching students is at the heart of what we do.

A student’s journey with College Success Foundation can span a decade, from ninth grade through college completion (which can take up to six years), and into their career.

At the center of our work are trusted, one-on-one coaching relationships that help students build the skills, confidence, and support systems needed to succeed in college and beyond.
