Partnering for College Access

We are eager to find new ways to connect with high school students who could be a great fit for Swarthmore, especially students we may not meet through more traditional college admissions venues. We partner formally and informally with many community-based organizations across the U.S., including these national partners:

• College Greenlight connects first-generation and students facing barriers to caring colleges, generous scholarships, and life-changing counselors and mentors.
• College Horizons is a nonprofit organization that supports the higher education of Native American students by providing college and graduate admissions workshops to American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian students/participants from across the nation.
• QuestBridge is a national nonprofit based in Palo Alto, Calif., that connects the nation’s most exceptional low-income youth with leading colleges and opportunities.
• VetLink is a partnership between the non-profit Service To School organization and selective colleges that seeks to expand educational opportunities for veterans.
