This document discusses challenges low-income, high-achieving students face in accessing higher education opportunities and presents Sixup as a solution. It notes that low-income students are often forced to attend less selective colleges due to cost barriers, which can negatively impact outcomes. Sixup aims to bridge funding gaps for such students to allow them to attend more selective institutions through an outcomes-based model pairing students with philanthropic investors. The organization provides gap financing, grants, and wraparound support services to help students succeed in college and beyond.

10. NCAN Affordability Report 2018
S I X U P
Students in 17 states and Puerto Rico
can’t afford to attend a four-year public
college and live on campus, even after
grants, aid, loans, and working full-
time over the summer.
Living off-campus, but not with family,
increases the number of unaffordable
states to 21 along with Puerto Rico
and the District of Columbia for
students.
When students don't work over the
summer, the number of states where
public four-year colleges are not
affordable on average balloons to 43
states and Puerto Rico for students
living on-campus.
46 states along with the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico for
students living off-campus.
