THIS is why we exist. We must all work to increase the pipeline of of high-achieving lower income students to the schools where they are most likely to succeed. twitter.com/IHEPTweets/sta…

This is important. High-achieving low-income students often choose not to enroll in highly-selective schools, where they may have the best chance for success. Recruiting plays a role. Read more here: diverseeducation.com/article/115662/ ihep.org/research/publi…



Over 300 college access organizations use The TalentED Project to connect their students to admissions recruiters at colleges where first-gen students are most likely to succeed! twitter.com/DiscoveryEd/st…


We created The TalentED Project to address the issue of college student undermatching - that is why we connect admissions recruiters from a carefully curated selection of colleges with students across the country who are likely to undermatch. ow.ly/HlcU30jxiR9


A study released at the @AERA_EdResearch conference finds that undermatching remains a factor in college admissions - and that students who are undermatched are less likely to graduate on time than are those who attend colleges that match their abilities. ow.ly/jBEs30jxir3


Too cool! This new federally funded pilot program is bringing college admissions and financial aid counseling directly to low-income housing developments to connect students to great college opportunities: ow.ly/n5Zp30jxcxy


We agree with @ThirdWayEDU - getting a bachelor's degree can be the great equalizer for #firstgen students. That's why we are committed to helping students identify and then connect with great fit colleges that support first-gen students. ow.ly/3jn130jvVYq
