College Access in US – Then & Now
1945: GI Bill passed – supported cost of attendance of returning interested in a college education
Returning veterans need to be prepared for the post-war labor market
1965: Congress passes Elementary and Secondary Education Act and Higher Education Act – removed financial barriers to college attendance
Every student who has the ability to succeed in college should have the opportunity to go, regardless of his/her family’s financial resources
2005: Knowledge-based, global economy requires higher levels of education; all students need to graduate from high school prepared for further education
Workforce preparation = College preparation

America’s global competitiveness is contingentupon high school graduates persisting towards earning at least a bachelor’s degree.

Mitigating persistent and pervasive barriers to postsecondary access and success through

10NCSL Annual Meeting ~ “IF THEY DON’T KNOW, THEY WON’T GO: APPLYING FOR AND FINANCING COLLEGE”
Five Most Significant Factors Influencing College-Going:
Academic preparation; level of preparation and readiness
Expectations; student, parent and teacher expectations
Culture and support; peer, parental and school support
Information and awareness; college planning and advising admissions and financial aid
Perception of affordability; real or perceived cost of attendance
![Page 11: Dr. Adrian K. Haugabrook Vice President, Local College ... · Ö1965: Congress passes Elementary and Secondary Education Act and Higher Education Act – removed financial barriers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6c5f2917d5a452c23c3418/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

12NCSL Annual Meeting ~ “IF THEY DON’T KNOW, THEY WON’T GO: APPLYING FOR AND FINANCING COLLEGE”
Academic Preparation- Challenges
Academic preparation is most effective means of increasing students graduating from high school and having success in college. But academic preparation is not sufficient for low-income students.
Over 60% of high school students who say they expect to attend college are not in a college preparatory course of study.
Nearly 40% of entering college students are enrolled in at least 1 developmental/remediation course.
High school graduation does not always translate into college-readiness.
![Page 13: Dr. Adrian K. Haugabrook Vice President, Local College ... · Ö1965: Congress passes Elementary and Secondary Education Act and Higher Education Act – removed financial barriers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6c5f2917d5a452c23c3418/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13NCSL Annual Meeting ~ “IF THEY DON’T KNOW, THEY WON’T GO: APPLYING FOR AND FINANCING COLLEGE”
Academic Preparation – States ResponsesRigorous college preparation curriculum as minimum; requirementsand sequencing of course of study
“College- and work-ready” curriculum (AK, TX, IN, KY, MI, NY, OK SD)
Aligning high school graduation requirements (i.e.- 11th grade assessments) and college admissions requirements (CA, GA,KY, MO, WV, SD, IN)
Data and accountability systems that align secondary and postsecondary education (MA); importance of ability to disaggregate data
P-16/20 Councils- facilitating vertical alignment and coordination with education reform efforts
![Page 14: Dr. Adrian K. Haugabrook Vice President, Local College ... · Ö1965: Congress passes Elementary and Secondary Education Act and Higher Education Act – removed financial barriers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6c5f2917d5a452c23c3418/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14NCSL Annual Meeting ~ “IF THEY DON’T KNOW, THEY WON’T GO: APPLYING FOR AND FINANCING COLLEGE”
Postsecondary Access – Challenges (awareness, information, planning)
“College just happens”- Most students set college expectations by 6th grade but have know idea of how to get there (“good grades and behave”).
28% Public schools vs. 61% Private schools; Counselor time spent on college planning.
African American and Latino parents, including those from middle- and upper-class, are more likely to believe that qualified students will not have access to college.
Latinos entering college are more likely to be first-generation students; enrolled part-time and are from low-income families.
Perceptions that low parental involvement equals low or no expectations of college-going.
![Page 15: Dr. Adrian K. Haugabrook Vice President, Local College ... · Ö1965: Congress passes Elementary and Secondary Education Act and Higher Education Act – removed financial barriers](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6c5f2917d5a452c23c3418/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15NCSL Annual Meeting ~ “IF THEY DON’T KNOW, THEY WON’T GO: APPLYING FOR AND FINANCING COLLEGE”
Postsecondary Access – States Responses• Federal TRIO and GEAR UP; consider linkages instead of disparate
activities (GEAR UP state grant and Indiana 21st Century Scholars Program combines support services such as tutoring, mentoring and information beginning in middle school with assurance of adequate financial aid for college.)
• State Marketing Campaigns (GA, KY, MA, NC, OK, TX, TN, WVA); National Campaigns (ACE/Ad Council/Lumina Foundation)
• Public – Private Partnerships (College Success Foundation, WA)
• School – College Partnerships (Kids to College- MA, DC)
• Incentivize postsecondary attendance (GA HOPE, FL Bright Futures, NV Millennium Scholarship, NM Lottery Scholarship)

16NCSL Annual Meeting ~ “IF THEY DON’T KNOW, THEY WON’T GO: APPLYING FOR AND FINANCING COLLEGE”
Financial Aid – Challenges Percentage of family income needed for college after grants has increased for lower-income quartiles; unmet need has increased.
Greater percentage of merit and other institutional aid is going to students without need.
78% agree that students borrow too much.
Over 1.5 million lower-income students currently in college would be eligible for a grant if they had completed the FAFSA.
45% of low-income parents have “no idea” how to pay for college.
Reliable information about college affordability and the financial aid process eludes many low-income students; 50%-75% do not apply or attend information sessions on aid.
