Overview

The center provides educational guidance, scholarships, and support services to students who:

• Come from low-income families
• Will be, or already are, the first person in their family to earn a college degree
• Come from racial groups identified by the federal government as underrepresented in higher education: African American, Native American, or Hispanic

We also help develop and guide the University’s diversity and inclusion efforts.

The center partners with the National Science Foundation, the US Department of Education and a host of private donors to promote the successful engagement of a diverse student body in higher education.
