your pathway
to college success
GenOne partners with talented, first-generation students from underserved communities, helping them successfully navigate into and through college.
First generation students are ambitious dreamers. Their life experiences bring immense value and perspective to higher education and our workforce, however…
🎓 Only about 16 percent of low-income college students graduate according to National Center for Education Statistics.
🎯 There is a 400:1 local student to counselor ratio due to underfunding of public systems. Students don’t get the in-depth navigation needed to make an informed, affordable post-secondary decision.
📚 Low-income, high-achieving students only make up 3% of enrollment at highly competitive colleges, according to a report by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation.
