On a Mission to Do More
Since 2000, our college access and success programs have helped empower nearly 100,000 students on their path to a college degree.
College Possible was founded by a first-generation college graduate who recognized first-hand the value a college degree can play. Like our founder, each of our valued team members bring a deep commitment to help every student succeed.
Today, we’re among the largest college access and success organizations in the U.S. We’ve grown from a single regional office in St. Paul, MN to eight sites nationwide, and a growing suite of solutions designed to empower students — and those who serve them — at every stage of the college journey.
OUR VISION
We envision a day when a student’s future is determined solely by their talent, motivation and effort.
OUR MISSION
College Possible is making college admission and success possible for students from low-income backgrounds through an intensive curriculum of coaching and support.
We’re a Proud
AmeriCorps Partner
AmeriCorps is a federal agency that brings people together to tackle the country’s most pressing challenges through national service. Our AmeriCorps members volunteer up to a year of service as College Possible coaches on college campuses throughout the country. Many are recent college graduates, so they have first-hand experience navigating higher education.
How We Make College Possible
Personalized
Coaching
Students benefit from the relatability, recent experience and trusted relationship of our near-peer AmeriCorps coaches who offer an intensive curriculum of personalized support.
6+ Years of
Mentorship
Enrolled students receive one of the longest support cycles available, starting their junior year in high school and continuing through degree completion.
Continuous Support,
No Matter What
A student’s path through college isn’t always straightforward. During times of transition, when students may be in between educational institutions and college advisors, or pause classes to support a family member, College Possible remains a constant support system, working to get them enrolled or reenrolled as soon as possible.
Free to
Students
Our college access and success programs are offered at no cost to students or their families. This ensures students can focus on their studies while we focus on finding and funding their best-fit education, with little to no debt.
