As part of the First Lady’s Reach Higher Initiative, College Possible was recognized at the White House for our efforts to increase college success rates among first-generation students. This national recognition highlights our role in improving college completion rates and ensuring that young learners have the resources and support they need to finish their degrees. In June 2009, President Barack Obama acknowledged College Possible in a speech on social entrepreneurship, highlighting the organization’s efforts to expand college access for low-income students.
