Foundation staff and leadership believe that improving college achievement is essential to California's future, and that college success should be an option for every student. College Futures works to remove systemic and institutional barriers to college success, enabling students to access the knowledge, financial aid, and other resources they need to earn college degrees and choose their own futures. The foundation's goal is to increase the rate of bachelor's degree completion by California students who are low-income and historically underrepresented in higher education.
