From 66% in 1996 to 53% in 2020, the proportion of first-gen college students is shrinking. But this isn’t a signal to slow down—it's a reminder that equity work is far from over.

#edusky #firstgen #equityinedu #studentsuccess
The proportion of first-generation college students enrolled in U.S. degree-granting institutions has declined from 66% to 53% between 1996 and 2020, according to a research brief released by the Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education. https://bit.ly/3JtgRv5

Did you know withdrawing from a class at 59% of the term could cost you $1,600—but at 60%, you owe nothing? The #R2T4 policy cliff is failing students who need support most.

#edusky #studentsuccess #financialaid #higheredreform #educationforall
A federal financial aid policy designed to prevent fraud is instead creating unexpected debt that keeps students—particularly those from low-income families—from completing their degrees, according to new research from the Brookings Institution.
Federal Aid Policy Blocks Low-Income Students From Returning to College, Study Finds
The study found that students required to return federal aid after withdrawing mid-semester are 5% less likely to re-enroll in college. For low-income students, that figure jumps to 11%.

New AP data shows what many feared: the rollback of affirmative action is leading to a sharp decline in Black student representation at elite institutions. Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, and Caltech all saw enrollment drops—some by half.

Programs like TRIO don’t just help students graduate—they help families and whole communities rise. We need more investment in what works.

#edusky #studentsuccess #onlinelearning #digitalcommunities
Views | The purpose of TRIO is simple and urgent: give every student, no matter their background, a fair shot at their potential. That purpose deserves protection, not just for who we become, but for who follows after us.
How TRIO Turned a Distant Dream into a Plan
TRIO knocked down barriers, one by one. The biggest was knowledge, how the higher-ed system works, what steps come first, and how to pay for it without burying your family in debt.
