The College Match Program

This MDRC resource provides an overview of the College Match Program which has been designed to support students who may not plan to attend college or may plan to attend a less competitive (academically) college, and who are prepared for college. The program is designed to support students who may not have resources of parents/households with information about college and particularly how to make decisions about the best college that fits students needs (academically, financially and socially). The program began in Chicago Public Schools (two high schools) in the 2010-11 school year and expanded in the 2011-12 school year.
