The groundbreaking of our new Southeast DC site is now in full swing at the St. Elizabeth's East in preparation for a summer 2025 move-in. Last week, Southeast DC Executive Site Director Latisha Chisholm, teamed up with our bright and eager SEDC scholars to kick off the construction by joining in the wall demolition! The journey to a new hub of educational opportunity has officially begun, and we're thrilled to share this milestone. Stay tuned for more updates as we pave the way for a brighter future at College Track Southeast DC! #SEDC #CollegeTrack #NewBeginnings #NewSite

About us
College Track is a comprehensive college completion program that equips students confronting systemic barriers to earn a bachelor's degree, in pursuit of a life of opportunity, choice, and power. From ninth grade through college graduation, our 10-year program removes the academic, financial, and social-emotional barriers that prevent first-generation students from low-income communities from earning their college degree. In 1997, we started with 25 students in East Palo Alto, and today, we have twelve centers located in communities across California, Colorado, Louisiana, and the D.C. Metro Area with 3,800 scholars and 952 alumni on the path to upward social mobility. College Track scholars graduate from college at a rate that is two and a half times the national average for first-generation college students from low-income communities. One year out of college, 84% of our recent graduates are employed full-time, and 90% of alumni 30 years and older report earnings greater than their parents. By supporting our students to maximize the value of their college degree—minimize student loan debt, secure internships, and limit the need to work while in college—we prepare them to succeed in the 21st century economy.

Thank you Tipping Point Community for your support. It truly takes a village! #SemesterZero #communitymatters #educationalexcellence
The early bird gets the worm! Preparing for #college starts early, but without equal opportunity to resources or guidance many high school students end up late to the game. Tipping Point grantee College Track's innovative Semester Zero program takes rising 11th graders on a one-week immersive experience at the campus of Northern Arizona University. Students get a unique preview of college life, participate in workshops, and build connections with college students, staff, and other College Track scholars from around the country. We're proud to support grantees like College Track that provide innovative ways for more young people in the #BayArea to not only get to college but succeed there. Check out the highlights from this summer's Semester Zero cohort!

Semester Zero was an experience to remember! This introduction to college life for our rising College Track juniors exceeded expectations. Our scholars had a joyous time in Flagstaff, Arizona where they experienced their very own Semester Zero convocation, engaged with campus life, immersive workshops, and a host of interactive experiences... including rock climbing! Thank you to our staff and university partner Northern Arizona University who were instrumental in bringing this week-long college experience to life! https://bit.ly/3ykCWpX #SemesterZero #CollegeTrack #StudentsFirst #Partnerships
