College Possible Since 2000, we’ve helped 93,000 students achieve their college dreams and build a brighter future. Learn more at CollegePossible.org.

At College Possible, we envision a day when a student’s future is determined solely by their talent, motivation and effort. As one of the largest and most successful college access and success programs in the country, since 2000 College Possible has helped more than 80,000 students from under-represented communities get into and through college through an intensive curriculum of coaching and support. Our pioneering model matches students with a near-peer coach and an evidence-based curriculum designed to help students overcome the most common barriers to getting into college and completing their degree – all at no cost to students or their families. Nationwide, College Possible students are three times more likely to earn a bachelor’s degree within six years than their peers from similar backgrounds. Headquartered in Saint Paul, MN, College Possible operates: regional sites in Chicago, IL; Milwaukee, WI; Omaha, NE; Philadelphia, PA; Portland, OR; and Seattle, WA; College Forward in Austin, TX; and Catalyze partnerships in California, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, and Tennessee.

The future of student success isn’t powered by AI alone. It’s powered by people equipped with better tools.

Today, on 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆, we’re celebrating the technology that helps educators, advisors, and coaches make an even greater impact.

Every student has a unique journey. Coach Possible helps student support professionals see the full picture by bringing together the academic, financial, and personal insights they need to identify challenges sooner, personalize support, and celebrate milestones along the way.

Technology doesn’t change lives on its own.

𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼. And when they’re equipped with the right tools, they can help even more students achieve their goals.

We’re proud to support that work every day. 👉 Learn more about Coach Possible: https://vist.ly/5jhij

We talk a lot about students “beating the odds.” But who set those odds? And why are we asking students to be the gamblers? 🎲

At National College Attainment Network's 2026 National Conference in Las Vegas, Jesse Hendrix, executive director of College Possible Texas, is taking on that question in his lightning talk, “Betting on Our Students.”

Jesse will challenge how we talk about risk, struggle and success in college access, and what it might mean to change the game instead of just coaching students to win it.

Sometimes, the support students need isn’t just tuition. It’s a kitchen table, a reliable car or a laptop.

For Jada, a College Possible Minnesota student and single mother, that support made all the difference.

“Having my laptop meant I didn’t have to go to the library every day just to get my schoolwork done, which made balancing school and being a mom much easier.”

With support from College Possible, Jada was able to cover essential expenses, repair her car, purchase a laptop and create more stability for herself and her son.

“These things may seem simple, but they made a huge difference in my day-to-day life and took away a lot of stress.”

Student parents represent nearly one in five undergraduate students in the U.S., yet many face unique financial and caregiving challenges while pursuing a degree.

This Student Parent Month, we’re celebrating student parents like Jada, who are balancing family, work and higher education while building brighter futures for themselves and their children.

📍 Attending ? Join us Oct. 6 from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. for “The Parenting 20%: Strategies for Persistence and Completion,” where we’ll share insights and strategies for helping parenting students succeed.

Student questions don’t wait for office hours.

Students are making important college decisions at all hours, from late-night FAFSA questions to weekend application steps, and they need support that meets them where they are.

Coach Possible is an AI-powered coaching companion that gives students instant answers when they need them while helping coaches focus more time on meaningful one-on-one support.

This , we’re celebrating how technology can expand access to guidance and strengthen the relationships that help students succeed in college and beyond.

Because the future of student support is not human or AI. It is human and AI working together to expand access to opportunity.

Some stories stay with you forever.

For Shari Baker, one student's journey is a reminder of what's possible when students have access to higher education and the support to succeed. After arriving in the United States from Mexico as an undocumented student, he faced challenge after challenge on his path to college. Today, he's an immigration attorney helping others navigate the same journey he once did.

His story is a powerful reminder that the impact of College Possible extends far beyond a college degree. It creates opportunities, strengthens communities and inspires others to dream bigger.

💙 That's why this work matters.
