A college degree is directly related to an individual’s economic success. In fact, over a lifetime, a college graduate will earn over $1 million more than a high school graduate.
College Access programs help students to achieve economic prosperity by raising their aspirations and by showing them ways to connect those aspirations to a plan which leads to a successful transition from high school to college. The Foundation defines college broadly to include 4-year colleges, 2-year colleges, certificate programs and the military.
