Partnerships are critical to the work we do at College Possible Washington. Through partnerships with institutions, we create collaborative spaces to support students which can look like: troubleshooting engagement issues, looking at data together, and being thought partners on ways we can provide a holistic approach that’s rich in resources and empowerment. 

The college success program works to create authentic and transformational partnerships with college leaders. Utilizing data on which colleges students attend, we develop partnerships at institutions with large populations of College Possible students, such as the University of Washington Bothell and Seattle Central College. In the future, we plan to expand our partnerships to include the top 10 destination campuses College Possible students attend.  

Our partnerships  create in-person access for coaches to meet with students and college staff. At the beginning of the academic year, our college partners host campus tours and informational sessions for our college success team. Through this, we have the opportunity to meet college staff in departments such as admissions, financial aid, advising, and first-year programs. A value of this in person experience is access to a list of department contacts for areas that are most helpful for students, such as advising and financial aid. Our partner institutions also offer priority consideration for admissions for College Possible Washington students and early notice of institutional scholarships; things that are transformational to a student’s enrollment experience. Through our relationships we also identify barriers or bottlenecks that have previously put up roadblocks for students, allowing for collaborative and proactive problem solving. 

Through these experiences we have realized that the benefits of intentional college partnership work are endless. These partnerships are a symbiotic way to support not only our College Possible Washington students, but all students needing additional support on their college journey. We look forward to sharing more about how these partnerships grow in the coming years.
