Idea Lab: College Access

Higher-education institutions are working harder today to remove the barriers that prevent students from attending college. While lack of money is often the biggest problem, there are a host of issues, big and small, that can prevent a student from applying or ever setting foot on a campus.  This collection of Chronicle essays and articles examines different ways to overcome those challenges. The booklet includes: Ways to work with high schools to improve access How to help transfer students succeed at four-year institutions What cultural “micro-barriers” first-gen students face How to make sure financial-aid forms and entrance exams aren’t barriers to college What the U.S. military can teach higher ed about working with low-income students Buy this collection to help improve access to your campus.
