College Possible
In addition to preparing high school juniors and seniors for colleges and universities, College Possible also aids students as they transition to college and supports them through graduation. According to a year-end summary for College Possible (2012), students enrolled in the program do significantly well in post-secondary institutions compared with their peers from similar demographic backgrounds. This includes not only accessing higher education institutions, but graduating from them as well.
Although College Possible is geared toward aiding low income students in obtaining degrees from higher education institutions, it equally benefits students who become coaches to the adolescents.
