Program Addresses National Challenge: Rural Students Attend College at Lower Rates Than Those in Cities, Suburbs
Vermont Business Magazine CFES Brilliant Pathways, a college and career-readiness nonprofit based in Essex, NY, has chosen 20 rural schools in northeastern New York and Vermont for its newly launched North Country Brilliant Pathways program. Seventy-two schools applied for the program, which was announced in April.
The initiative, which has a value of $1.5 million, will provide schools with a multi-faceted, comprehensive college readiness program that will put more of their students on a path to college.
Currently, a lower percentage of rural students attend college compared with their urban and suburban counterparts, and they drop out at far higher rates.
