Students who come from under-resourced communities or are the first generation in their family to go to college face a host of obstacles as they prepare for education and careers after high school. A new publication by Collegiate Directions, Inc., (CDI) explores the barriers these students often face in being accepted to, attending, and graduating from a college or university. CDI, a community partner in our College Completion Colleagues (C3) Initiative, provides wraparound services to more than 1,200 students annually ensuring they receive everything necessary to persist through and graduate from college, including emotional support, counseling, and emergency assistance. The publication shares the effects of limited resources and limited knowledge about the college process on academic readiness, financial aid, and overall opportunity for academic success.
