We empower students from
underserved communities
to graduate from college.
WHAT IS
COLLEGE
TRACK?
Today in the United States, only one in five students
from low-income communities who enroll in college
earn their degree. Unprecedented income inequality
and social injustice stack the odds against students
from underserved communities. At College Track,
we believe a four-year college degree is the key to
unlocking the potential in every student.
We make a ten-year promise to the students we
serve, from ninth grade through college gradua-
tion. They receive academic, social-emotional, and
financial support to reach their goals. The results are
clear—College Track students graduate college at a
rate that is more than double that of their low-income
and first-generation peers.

Our students graduate
college at a rate that is
more than 2x
the national average
for low-income and
first-generation students. *
Every day we work towards a more just and equitable
world, where a college degree is the expectation,
not the exception for all students. Our alumni are
tomorrow’s leaders, mentors, and innovators—agents
of change in their communities, reaffirming that the
American Dream is alive and well at College Track.
