Welcome to College Summit

Increasing College Enrollment Community-Wide

College Summit provides school districts with a proven strategy and tools to dramatically increase the number of students from the community who enroll in college (learn more about The College Summit Approach).

Our supporters are critical to these efforts and act as co-investors along with local school districts and colleges.

Not only do College Summit’s partner high schools commit their classroom and staff time towards increasing college enrollment rates, they also make an affordable but significant financial contribution. This means that your financial contribution goes towards building capacity in schools that have gone the extra mile to focus their own financial resources on this opportunity.

In addition, College Summit’s college partners contribute in-kind resources when they host College Summit workshops on their campuses. Colleges provide room, board, and the full range of facilities necessary to make these four-day intensive sessions a success for students and volunteers.

In this way, the strength and resources of the entire community are combined to drive increased college enrollment rates and build an enduring college-going culture in high schools.

Because College Summit’s strategy and tools allow schools to measure, report and improve their progress, supporters can have the same focus on results and transparency in their philanthropic investments (learn more about our results)
