    This document discusses the inequities that students from low socioeconomic statuses face in accessing higher education. It notes that students in poverty lack career aspirations and face racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic barriers. They also have a deficit of family resources and disparities in school achievement, like higher dropout rates. Additionally, low-income schools often lack qualified educators and academic resources. The document provides ways to combat these issues, such as educating students about post-secondary options, providing implicit bias training for teachers, advocating for student ownership of learning, and encouraging parent involvement. It also lists resources to help future students with housing, nutrition, financial aid, and career exploration.

    All Students Deserve Opportunity for


    Equitable Access to Higher Education

    What Inequities Do Students In


    Poverty Face?
    Lack of career aspirations
    Racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic
    barriers hinder their choices and
    lack representation
    Deficit of family resources
    Families having a lack of knowledge
    of post-education choices
    Disparities of school achievement
    High school dropout rates increase
    as time progress, and lack of STEM
    representation from minorities
    Insufficient academic resources
    Low-income schools may lack
    qualified educators and library
    resources
    For success in low SES schools,
    there should be an increase in
    funding, well-rounded training for
    educators, and parent involvement

    Ways To Combat Prejudice


    Start educating all students about post-
    secondary options and career choices
    Provide workshops on implicit and
    equity/liberation training for teachers
    and administrators
    Advocate and encourage students to
    take ownership of their learning and
    foster curiosity
    Encourage parents to take part in
    informational meetings about higher
    education
    Educate administrators and teachers that
    all students can succeed with the proper
    support and resources
    Resources
    Currently in 2023, at least 11.6% of
    Americans live in poverty, with 16.2% being

    resources for your
    future students!
