Nationwide, College Possible students are three times more likely to earn a bachelor's degree within six years than their peers from similar backgrounds.
College Possible is a proud Ameri Corps program. Ameri Corps is a federal agency that brings people together to tackle the country's most pressing challenges through national service. Our Ameri Corps members commit to a year of service as a College Possible coach in communities throughout the country. Many coaches represent the

Our near-peer coaching model has earned national recognition: the inaugural Evergreen National Education Award recognized our leadership in increasing access to and success in college for students from low-income backgrounds.
It also earns top-of-field results: a Harvard study found that the program more than doubles a student's chance of enrolling in a four-year college, and our students are four times more likely to become college graduates than their low-income peers. College Possible has an annual operating budget of $33 million, more than 200 full-time employees
and more than 300 Ameri Corps and VISTA service members. During the 2021-2022 school year, we reached an estimated 24,000 students nationwide.
