New partnership unites two organizations around a shared commitment to educational access and opportunity for first-generation students<\/em><\/h4>\r\nOAKLAND, Calif. (May 28, 2026) \u2014 College Track, a national nonprofit dedicated to ensuring all students have the opportunity to earn a college degree, today announced a formal partnership with the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). The partnership marks a significant milestone in College Track's expanding network of college and university partnerships, deepening its commitment to opening doors to higher education for under-resourced students.<\/span>\r\n\r\nUC Davis is consistently one of the top enrollment destinations for College Track\u2019s California scholars each year. This partnership formalizes and deepens that relationship, reflecting a shared belief that expanding access to higher education requires sustained institutional commitment.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAt the heart of the partnership is a common conviction: that access to higher education should not be determined by circumstance. Both College Track and UC Davis have long invested in programs and structures that support first-generation and under-resourced students, and this partnership is an expression of that shared mission.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_14241\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"743\"]\"\" UC Davis College Tour - Spring 2025 - College Track Oakland Scholars, Grades 9-12[\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u201cThis partnership demonstrates how a nonprofit and a research university can come together to fuel first-generation student success,\u201d says <\/span>Shirley M. Collado, Ph.D.<\/span><\/a>, College Track President and CEO. \u201cUC Davis has long been a destination for College Track\u2019s California scholars, and this agreement not only formalizes our existing relationship, it deepens it in meaningful ways.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe partnership with UC Davis reflects a broader movement across higher education to meet first-generation students with the institutional support they need to not only enroll, but to succeed and graduate. For both organizations, it is an opportunity to signal clearly that access and equity are not peripheral concerns. They are central to what higher education should be.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cEarning a college degree changes the course of a student\u2019s life, creating new opportunities for personal growth and generational economic mobility,\u201d said UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May. \u201cAt UC Davis, we\u2019re committed to ensuring those opportunities are within reach for talented students from every background. We look forward to partnering with College Track to help more students achieve their college dreams.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe UC Davis partnership is the latest in a growing network of college and university relationships College Track has built to ensure its scholars have every advantage as they pursue and complete their degrees. By pairing long-term mentorship and academic support with direct institutional relationships like the one formalized with UC Davis, College Track continues to build a pipeline where first-generation and under-resourced students don\u2019t just apply to college \u2014 they belong there, and they graduate.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAbout College Track<\/strong>\r\n\r\nCollege Track\u2019s mission is to equip first-generation scholars to earn a bachelor\u2019s degree and build lives filled with opportunity, choice, purpose, and power.<\/span>\r\n\r\nToday, more than 4,800 College Track high school and college students across California, Colorado, Louisiana, and the D.C.\u2013Maryland area are pursuing their goal of becoming the first in their family to graduate from college.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAcross the country, our alumni represent what\u2019s possible when first-generation scholars have long-term support and access to higher education. Ninety percent of our scholars are the first in their family to attend college, and 84 percent come from under-resourced communities. They graduate at more than two and a half times the national rate for first-generation peers.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLearn more about our work to expand opportunity and redefine what\u2019s possible for the next generation of college graduates at<\/span> collegetrack.org<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAbout the University of California, Davis<\/b>\r\n\r\nUC Davis, ranked No. 2 among public universities by the Wall Street Journal in the value of a college degree, is home to 40,000 undergraduate students and 12,000 employees. Ranked top in the United States in agriculture and forestry as well as No. 1 in veterinary medicine, UC Davis is located in a true California college town nestled between world-class destinations such as the San Francisco Bay Area, Napa Valley and Lake Tahoe.<\/span>\r\n\r\nMEDIA CONTACT<\/span>\r\n\r\nChristy Johnson\r\n<\/span>College Track<\/span>\r\n<\/span>Director, External Relations\r\n<\/span>crjohnson@collegetrack.org<\/span>\r\n<\/span><\/a>\r\n\r\nJames Nash<\/span>\r\n<\/span>University of California, Davis<\/span>\r\n<\/span>News and Media Relations<\/span>\r\n<\/span>jnash@ucdavis.edu<\/span><\/a>","":null,"drop_cap":false,"helper_width":""}}]},"yoast_head":"\nCollege Track and UC Davis Announce Partnership To Advance College Access For Under-Resourced Students - College Track<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/collegetrack.org\/es\/articles\/college-track-and-uc-davis-announce-partnership-to-advance-college-access-for-under-resourced-students\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"College Track and UC Davis Announce Partnership To Advance College Access For Under-Resourced Students - College Track\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"New partnership unites two organizations around a shared commitment to educational access and opportunity for first-generation students OAKLAND, Calif.
