IL Program Aims to Boost College Enrollment for Low-Income Students
Students from low-income communities in Illinois have historically faced numerous barriers to higher education, but one Chicago-based program offers support, so they can surmount those hurdles.
The OneGoal initiative is a three-year, nonprofit program which offers students financial and academic guidance through their last two years of high school and first year of college.
Melissa Connelly, the organization's CEO, said the program takes a holistic approach to helping students enroll and stay in college.
