Synopsis

Focuses on pre-college enrichment programs as a solution to the problem of minority and low-income student access to postsecondary education.

At a time when college enrollment rates for low income and under-represented students are far below those of non-minority students, policies and practices designed to increase access should be a priority for colleges, universities, high schools, and community agencies. Increasing Access to College examines pre-college enrichment programs that offer a specific and immediate remedy.
