The White House released a report in conjunction with its Higher Education Summit on increasing college opportunity for low-income students. The report emphasizes a need to better prepare and draw high-performing students from disadvantaged backgrounds to college, and more importantly, help them graduate. Recommendations include connecting more low-income students to the college that is right for them and ensuring more graduate; increasing the pool of students preparing for college through early interventions; leveling the playing field in college advising and SAT/ACT test preparation; and strengthening remediation to help academically underprepared students progress through and complete college.
