Target demographics: Low-income students in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, MN, Milwaukee, WI and Omaha, NE. 91% of our students are persons of color.
Mission:
College Possible, formerly known as Admission Possible, is a nationally-growing 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization making college admission and success possible for low-income students through an intensive curriculum of coaching and support.
Results:
Since our founding in 2000, students have increased their ACT test score by an average of 21%; 98 percent of our students have earned admission to college; 93 percent have gone on to enroll; and nearly 80 percent of those students are working toward their college degree or have already graduated. Admission Possible’s results are top in the field. Two external evaluations conducted in 2005 and 2009 further proved these excellent results. Additionally, the foremost associations in the college admission field recognized College Possible with their 2009 awards of excellence.
