It’s widely known that a significant percentage of high school students who grow up in underserved communities may never consider college as an option because of family obligations, 相互竞争的工作时间表, 或者金融挑战. These students are often the first in their families to pursue college or university and thus require more attention to be a successful student. This is why 帕洛阿尔托学院 has partnered with one of the largest, most effective dropout prevention organizations dedicated to keeping students in school.
