About College Summit:
College Summit is a national non-profit organization that partners with high schools and districts to build a college-going culture and increase the college enrollment rate of all students. College Summit works with 17,000 seniors at 160 schools in 13 states across the country. That means College Summit is helping to create a college-going culture among 80,000 students nationwide.
Academic preparation -- and even increased financial aid -- aren't enough to solve the achievement gap. Increasing college enrollment depends on changing the hearts and mind of both educators and students. College Summit helps schools create a culture where it is expected that all students will not only graduate from high school, but that they'll go on to post-secondary success.
From Los Angeles to St. Louis to New York, College Summit schools have been dramatically sending more students to college. College Summit is working toward a day when all students experience high school not as a destination but as a launchpad to college and career success.
