Low-income students in Massachusetts are three times less likely than their peers to attain the post-secondary degrees and credentials they need for most jobs in the local economy. The economic downturn from COVID has had a disproportionate impact on these students, causing many to delay or abandon college plans. Getting and keeping them on track to earn a college degree is an urgent challenge.
A new partnership began in the MetroWest region last year that puts more students on a path to college, prepares them for the rigors of college coursework, enables them to earn college credits while in high school, and saves their families thousands of dollars in tuition and fees - because it’s free. Most important, its focus is on closing college attainment gaps for low-income, Black, and Latinx students. The program deserves broad support.

Framingham State University will be taking part in a new, national initiative to increase transfer rates from community colleges to four-year colleges for Black, Hispanic, adult and first-generation learners.
The Equity Transfer Initiative will manifest locally in a partnership between FSU and MassBay Community College in Wellesley. The two-year, $27,500 award from ETI will be used to increase transfer and completion for underrepresented populations using transfer pathways. These transfer pathways represent avenues to easily allow students to carry forward their education from a community college to a four-year institution.
“Increasing and improving upon transfer and completion opportunities for underrepresented student populations is critical to supporting their educational goals and career aspirations,” FSU President Javier Cevallos said in a press release.
