A Portrait of Low-Income Young Adults in Education
This brief, A Portrait of Low-Income Young Adults in Education, is the first of a new publication series called “Portraits” that draws from the most recent national data to describe the population of low-income young adults—between ages 18 and 26 and whose total household income is near or below the federal poverty level—and situates them in the context of national college completion goals. It specifically outlines the demographic characteristics of low-income young adults while providing a brief overview of their pre-college and degree attainment trends.
Expanding Access and Opportunity: The Washington State Achievers Program
This synthesis report, Expanding Access and Opportunity: The Washington State Achievers Program, extensively summarizes multiple studies conducted on a Washington State-based program funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in partnership with the College Success Foundation and 16 local high schools. Research showed that pre-college interventions are needed to touch on all barriers facing low-income students in Washington State when they attempt to obtain a baccalaureate degree. In addition to providing scholarships, programmatic components include early college awareness activities, high school redesign and reforms, and mentoring.
