Closing the Gaps warns that if more Texans do not receive college degrees by 2030, the State could lose up to $40 billion in annual household income.
The goal is to increase student enrollment in higher education by 630,000 by 2015.
Most students will elect to start at a community college.
Austin Community College District expects 15,000 additional students by 2015.
