Low-Income Task Force

Low-Income Task Force
 

Removing financial & nonfinancial barriers to college success for low-income students

The Board of Trustees of the College Board has convened a Task Force on College Access for Students from Low-Income Backgrounds. A goal of the Task Force is to create a commonly accepted definition of "low-income student" and then seek to remove all identifiable barriers, financial and non-financial, to college access for those who meet the definition.

Members of the Low-Income Task Force include individuals with experience in administration, counseling, admissions, financial aid, student services, and enrollment management. The Task Force will partner with political leaders and chief executive officers of educational and business institutions to consider the implementation of their recommendations.

The CollegeKeys Compact

The CollegeKeys Compact is based on research conducted by the Task Force, and it is driven by member commitment to the belief that all underserved students have a right to an affordable, accessible, and successful college experience.
