The Student Financial Success Conference aims to advance the national dialogue about the use of data and technology to support undergraduate students by minimizing their financial risk that may adversely impact their academic success.
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.
This document outlines some of the unique challenges faced by high schools. It notes that high schools receive a disproportionately small amount of federal funding compared to the percentage of students they serve. Additionally, high school students face pressures from accountability systems that can push low-achieving students out of school or pass students along without necessary skills. Issues like student boredom, lack of access to challenging curriculum, disproportionate discipline of students of color, and high teacher turnover rates also negatively impact the school climate and student experience in high schools. The document suggests that redesigned high school models show promise in overcoming some of these challenges.
Too often when people state that college isn’t for “everyone” they neglect to realize this blanket statement limited to a group of people that may have a deep desire for college but simply lack the toolkit, the resources, the support, and the encouragement to actualize that deep desire and dream of college.
From factors contributing to decreased enrollment at campuses across the midwest to patterns college administrators are seeing with summer bridge and remedial programs, explore 10 gamechangers transforming the higher education landscape.

College Admissions: What Do Admissions Directors Consider? [Infographic]Hobsons
More and more, higher education institutions in America are reviewing their admissions and recruitment efforts to develop effective strategies to connect with students who are the best fit for their institutions. Here are just a few of the key issues many admissions directors are grappling with.
Reverse Transfer - University of North Carolina & North Carolina Community Co...degreesmatter
The document discusses reverse transfer, which is the awarding of an associate degree to students who have fulfilled the requirements for an associate degree while working towards their bachelor's degree at a community college and four-year university. Reverse transfer is important because approximately 44% of students who transfer without an associate degree do not complete their bachelor's degree. The process involves the community college reviewing the student's transcripts after they have earned 60 or more credit hours between the community college and university to see if they qualify for the associate degree, then awarding the degree if eligible.
The document provides an overview of community college enrollment and funding trends across several major US markets from 2015-2021. It finds that while some areas like Texas saw enrollment growth from 2015-2019, most experienced declines, including Southern California (-1.6%), Boston (-16.9%), Chicago (-18.6%), and New York City (-9.2%). The COVID-19 pandemic further reduced enrollments in 2020 but predictions for future trends vary based on economic recovery. Funding sources for community colleges include state appropriations, tuition/fees, and federal aid.
Providing Opportunities for Post-Secondary Education Among Under-Represented ...EduSkills OECD
The document summarizes research on the College Ambition Program (CAP), an intervention to increase post-secondary enrollment among underrepresented groups. CAP provides tutoring, mentoring, course advising, financial aid planning, and college visits at high schools. Analysis of CAP participants found higher college enrollment and STEM interest compared to non-participants. The research design uses treatment and matched control schools, showing increases in 2-year and 4-year college enrollment over time with CAP expansion. The program highlights the importance of personal interactions for changing student behaviors and plans regarding college.
According to The Unheard Third 2015, our annual survey New York City residents, New Yorkers see college education as the key to getting ahead, and affordability as the key to getting more young people to college.
More than half (or 51%) of youth aged 18–24 claimed that they did not have the financial means to pay for their tuition. Furthermore, 18% of those aged 18–24 who were not attending educational institutions indicated that their poor academic performance prevented them from participating. This is according to the “Higher Education and Skills in South Africa” report released by Statistics South Africa.

Board of Regents Strategic Goals 07-30-2015HigherEdUtah
The document discusses strategic directions and goals for higher education in Utah. It outlines that Utah has a system of 8 public colleges and universities ranging from research universities to community colleges. It notes that enrollment in higher education in Utah is growing faster than the national average and capacity challenges exist. It also highlights the economic return on investment of higher education, with higher levels of education correlating to higher incomes and lower unemployment and poverty rates. The document concludes by outlining strategic directions adopted by the Board of Regents to increase affordable participation, timely completion, and innovative discovery in higher education in Utah.
The document discusses issues related to the rising costs of higher education and student loan debt in the United States. It notes that student loan debt has reached $1 trillion and 30% of borrowers may never repay their loans. Although a college degree leads to higher lifetime earnings, 75% of graduates work in jobs that do not require a degree and 30% say student debt impacted their career choices. While a postsecondary degree is seen as important, the average student loan debt is over $33,000 and many graduates struggle with debt repayment and financial well-being in their early careers.

President Donald Trump’s nomination of philanthropist and education advocate Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education thrust Michigan education into the national spotlight. Because DeVos doesn’t have a track record as a government official or school system leader, her work in Michigan on education issues provides some of the only information about her track record and what she might do as Secretary. Yet, DeVos’ critics and her boosters alike are making a variety of claims about Michigan that are confusing and contradictory.
To help clarify some of these questions, a new analysis from Bellwether Education Partners provides a comprehensive look at the education policy landscape in Michigan.

Presentation delivered by Timothy M. Renick (Georgia State University) on March 2, 2015.
ABSTRACT
Through the proactive use of data and analytics, Georgia State University has designed a series of interventions which have been partly responsible for raising institutional graduation rates by 22 percentage points. Large-scale programs have included transforming all 7,500 seats in pre-calculus math courses into a hybrid format using adaptive learning (responsible for cutting DWF rates in these courses in half over a five-year period), implementing financial counseling and academic-skills interventions for students who lose the Hope scholarship (which has helped to double the graduation rates for these students), and developing an advising system based on predictive analytics which tracks all undergraduates daily (and which has produced a 5-point increase in semester-to semester retention).

Prevailing Trends: How to Engage International Students in AdmissionsMarty Bennett
Hundreds of universities are competing to recruit international students. Yet there’s little known about what drives the decisions of these students. In this session, attendees will gain insights gleaned from three consecutive years of research on the motivations of these students, and will hear firsthand from universities successfully engaging online with students throughout the admissions cycle.
The document discusses recent enrollment trends in Massachusetts public higher education, noting that total undergraduate enrollment has declined for the third consecutive year after peaking in 2013, with community colleges seeing the largest decreases. Enrollment varies between segments, with the University of Massachusetts seeing growth from international students. The profile of new undergraduate students in 2015 is also presented, showing over half enrolled at community colleges and most were in-state, white, and female.

past are three times more likely to be dropped again in the future
• Campus Housing or Live At Home? Simple decisions early in a student’s
career can make the difference between having the funds to graduate or not.
