For first-generation college students, higher education can drastically alter their life trajectory. However, there are many barriers on the road to entering college, let alone graduating or graduating debt-free. In this session, current college students will share their thoughts on the most pernicious barriers to college access, and what the field should do to remedy them. These students are all alumni of TeenSHARP, a program that prepares talented low-income, Black, and Latinx students for top colleges through early access to college-level coursework and coaching throughout the application and decision process.
