Why College Access & Student Success Matters
• Access to higher education breaks the poverty cycle and opens pathways for underserved students to actualize full potential. • TRIO and GEAR UP are vital in addressing disparities, fostering academic success, and empowering marginalized communities. • Investing in access and student success creates a ripple effect, transforming individual lives, families, and communities.
