Higher Edge empowers limited income, minority students to enter, succeed in, and graduate from college
Far more than individualized advising that guides high school seniors as they navigate the college application process and make an informed decision, Higher Edge builds a foundation enabling students to persist through until they graduate. To accomplish this work, Higher Edge operates two sequential programs, The College Access Program (CAP) and Success.

“The way Higher Edge supported me was completely guiding me through the college application process. Without them I wouldn’t be able to have received the scholarships that I have gotten and wouldn’t know the things I know now about applying to college.”
