Our Expertise
College Track’s decades of experience working with scholars from low-income communities who want to be the first in their families to graduate from college has long made us a key resource for journalists covering equity issues in higher education. Our national leadership team can provide commentary, context, and data on the debate over the value of a bachelor’s degree, declining enrollment rates, student-loan debt, DREAMer/DACA support, college access, college application practices, financial aid, scholarship displacement, and more.

A BA/BS can unlock a life of opportunity, choice, & power — but student loan debt may close those doors. @collegetrack ensures our students max out financial aid & scholarships, not loans. Invest in their futures now.
