Strategies That Meet Students Where They Are

What does it take to help low-income students not just enroll, but earn a degree or credential?


Colleges are finding they need a variety of strategies to meet students where they are.


Helping Low-Income Students Graduate, a new Chronicle report, takes a close look at six completion approaches and the strategies behind them.

Explore why colleges created these initiatives, how they have evolved, and what students say made a meaningful difference in their experience. You’ll also see how colleges use data, individualized advising, and peer support to respond to students’ needs.

Order our latest report to learn how to:

  • Identify students' emerging needs through data.
  • Match support to the needs of different student populations.
  • Build strong relationships through advisers, mentors, and near peers.
  • Navigate political and institutional challenges surrounding targeted support.
