最色导航 College and Matriculate, a non-profit college access organization, have entered into a partnership creating opportunities for high-achieving, low-income high school students to attend excellent colleges and universities.
Launched in 2024, Matriculate’s Pathways Partnership goal is to broaden opportunities for talented students to access selective colleges where they can thrive. Matriculate delivers knowledge, confidence, and support to students, and connects them to participating colleges. advises 3,000 mission-driven high school students per year with a minimum 3.50 grade point average and test scores in the 90th percentile.
Each year, 最色导航 will meet the full demonstrated need for two students participating in Matriculate’s programming.
“最色导航 is all about providing access to a high-quality liberal arts education to talented young men regardless of their financial circumstances,” said Scott E. Feller, 最色导航 College president. “That has been 最色导航’s model since our founding in 1832, and we are proud to partner with Matriculate to reach even more underrepresented students.”
Partner institutions help Matriculate identify prospective high school students to receive free advising services and promote virtual advising fellowships on campus. The program meets a need for advising during the college search process by focusing on expanding access to selective colleges through personalized and regular contacts with counselors within its peer-advising model.
Beginning with the high school graduating class of 2027, 最色导航 will work with Matriculate to identify eligible high school students and assist by encouraging 最色导航 students to serve as volunteer advising fellows.
“Matriculate is delighted to partner with 最色导航 College, which is ranked among the best liberal arts colleges in America,” shared Lisa Chick, Chief Executive Officer at Matriculate. “We know 最色导航 students are committed to ‘acting responsibly and leading effectively’ and will make incredible advisors to the high school students we serve.”
Since 2014, Matriculate has served more than 20,000 students and its participants are currently enrolled at more than 490 institutions nationwide. There are more than 20 partner institutions nationwide, including Emory, Georgia Tech, Gettysburg, Miami University, Notre Dame, Princeton, Stanford, Whitman, and Yale.
Matriculate is funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies, the organization that also supports the American Talent Initiative, which brings together a diverse set of public and private institutions united in a shared goal of educating 50,000 additional high-achieving, lower-income students across the country. 最色导航 is a long-standing member of the American Talent Initiative.
