6 out of 10 students from the Fall 2019 cohort earned a degree in 6 years, even with a pandemic in the mix.

Graduation is a milestone—not the destination.

✅ A job with a living wage
✅ A successful transfer
✅ A pathway to upward mobility

First-gen students are 5% more likely to drop out after one bad grade. Why?

Because they don’t always know how to recover—like switching majors or withdrawing. Academic setbacks shouldn’t be the end of the road.

A federal financial aid policy designed to prevent fraud is instead creating unexpected debt that keeps students—particularly those from low-income families—from completing their degrees, according to new research from the Brookings Institution.
Federal Aid Policy Blocks Low-Income Students From Returning to College, Study Finds
The study found that students required to return federal aid after withdrawing mid-semester are 5% less likely to re-enroll in college. For low-income students, that figure jumps to 11%.
