According to the U.S. Census, the St. Louis region ranks 24th of 35 large metropolitan regions in its share of residents with a bachelor’s degree.  The barriers that low-income high school graduates face are significant.  What are the educational outcomes of low-income students in this area?  What are the major obstacles to higher education?  What is needed for a regional strategy to help students, teachers, families, and schools make college access a reality?

Join us on Thursday, February 25, at 3:00 p.m. for a panel discussion on the College Access Pipeline Project (CAP).  The panel will present research on the region’s current status and discuss a coordinated strategy for increasing the number of low-income students in the St. Louis area to enroll and succeed in college.
