IUSB telling low-income families college is possible
“Indiana University South Bend wants more low-income kids going to college, any college, and the university wants their families to know that it’s more realistic than they might think. IUSB launched its Family College Engagement Project in 2022, hoping to move the needle on a troubling and stubborn statistic. That year, just 29.6% of Hoosiers had earned bachelor’s degrees or higher. Only eight of the other 49 states had lower levels of college attainment, a ranking Indiana hasn’t improved upon much in 15 years.”
