Strengthening the Bridge to Higher Education for Academically Promising Underrepresented Students

Abstract

Several approaches to raising the academic success of minority high achievers exist in the form of school, community, nonprofit, and university programmatic efforts. This article represents a review of K-12 intervention programs in multiple organizational contexts that serve to strengthen the bridge to higher education for academically promising underrepresented students. The article begins with a framework and context for promoting academic success and college readiness through the educational pipeline, as well as an overview of access issues that impede high-achieving underrepresented students from realizing their full potential, followed by a discussion of specific intervention programs that are designed to remedy this situation.
