 Powerful
Partnerships: Independent Colleges Share High-impact Strategies for Low-income
Students' Success
The Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and the Lumina Foundation for
Education have published Powerful Partnerships: Independent Colleges
Share High-impact Strategies for Low-income Students' Success, a
book of essays by independent college and university presidents who wrote
about the ways in which their institutions are successfully educating
low-income students. The essays describe institutional efforts to promote
access to and success in college for individuals from low-income families.
The range of institutional initiatives includes assistance in preparing
prospective students, outreach to increase awareness of opportunities,
student financial aid strategies, student advising and support systems,
instructional support, and incentives for completion of educational programs.
