College Track Program
Vishal Shah's Company Details
College Track is a comprehensive college completion program that equips students confronting systemic barriers to earn a bachelor's degree, in pursuit of a life of opportunity, choice, and power. From ninth grade through college graduation, our 10-year program removes the academic, financial, and social-emotional barriers that prevent low-income and first-generation students from earning their college degree. In 1997, we started with 27 students in East Palo Alto, and today, we have twelve centers located in communities across California, Colorado, and Louisiana, with more than 3,000 students on the path to upward social mobility.College Track students graduate from college at a rate that is more than double the national average for low-income, first-generation students. Five years out of college, our graduates are employed full-time, and over 85% report earnings greater than their parents. By helping our students maximize the value of their college degree--minimize student loan debt, secure internships, and limit the need to work while in college--we prepare them to succeed in the 21st century economy.To learn more, visit www.collegetrack.org.
