🎓🌟 The Rising Challenge of College Costs: Empowering Access to Education 💸✨ The cost of college education has skyrocketed, making it increasingly challenging for many aspiring scholars to afford. From tuition fees to various expenses like transportation, room and board, and lab fees, the financial burden has intensified. Did you know? There's a significant disparity in private scholarships, with Caucasian students 40% more likely to secure them compared to minorities. Shockingly, minorities receive only about 28% of all scholarships, hindering equitable access to educational opportunities. At Ottis Lee Johnson Scholarship Fund, we're committed to leveling the playing field. Join our mission to empower aspiring scholars from diverse backgrounds and bridge this gap in scholarship accessibility. 🌐 Visit www.oljscholarshipfund.org to learn how you can support equal opportunities in education! 📚 🎓 #AccessToEducation #EqualOpportunities #ScholarshipEquality #EducationForAll #OttisLeeJohnsonScholarshipFund

If you're interested in learning about college undermatching for low-income students and how MMBay solves for that - read on below!
In the wake of the Supreme Court gutting affirmative action, as the political discourse heated up, I listened and reflected on what it meant for our students’ futures and what it meant for our organization, Minds Matter Bay Area (MMBay). The conversation seemed to conflate several key issues. In my article for Nonprofit Quarterly, I sought to deconstruct two different kinds of issues in education related to equity: the achievement gap and the opportunity gap. The achievement gap is the substantial learning gap that exists between wealthy and poor students, and (relatedly) between white versus black and brown students. The achievement gap starts at home, even before kids are of age to attend school. MMBay addresses an important problem - but that problem is not the achievement gap. It's related to the achievement gap, but its scope is tangible and within the reach of what a nonprofit can impact. The opportunity gap issue that we’re addressing is called undermatching. In short, gifted and hardworking students from low-income backgrounds severely underestimate their own potential and lack the support systems required to help them access colleges and careers that they are actually academically qualified for. Read the full piece to learn more about the scope of the issue and why it’s worthy of addressing: https://lnkd.in/gaEdMKfb

Having recently assisted some non-Iowa colleges with similar credit transfer and degree-sharing #partnerships, I cannot help but wonder if this St. Ambrose University and Mount Mercy University agreement might lead to others and--ultimately--a robust and sustainable statewide Catholic #highereducation consortium. One that offers current and prospective #college students a common application/acceptance to a much wider array of institutions, courses, majors, and cocurricular experiences. When one factors in the Iowa Department of Education Tuition Grant (up to $7500/year(!) for state residents attending an Iowa nonprofit IHE), #Iowa could provide a national model for addressing the #highered "demographic cliff" (including a 10-year decline in post-secondary participation of Iowa HS grads) with solutions that create strength through partnership instead of slow deaths (cf. Gary Stocker's work) via sustained unnecessary competition, duplication programs and expenditures, enrollment declines, and/or irreversible structural deficits. I hope and surmise that there are some governing boards and #leadership teams in Sioux City, Des Moines, Dubuque, and Epworth paying close attention (and reaching out) to their peers in Davenport and Cedar Rapids this week. Hats off to Amy Novak and Todd Olson for taking the first important steps for the good of their students and their communities.
