Gateway to College

Gateway to College serves youth, 16-20 years old, who have dropped out of high school. Gateway to College believes that all students have the capacity to achieve in college. Therefore students complete a high school diploma while simultaneously earning college credits, progressing toward an associate’s degree or certificate. Beginning in a small learning community on a college campus and quickly transitioning to classes with adult learners, students receive intensive support from faculty and counselors, learning how to succeed in college. Started at Portland Community College, the program is being replicated at 17 colleges nationwide to serve 5,550 students by 2011.
