Reach Higher

Reach Higher is an initiative that bridges the gap between high school and higher education, supporting students, counselors, educators, and parents in fostering college success. Launched by former First Lady Michelle Obama, it has empowered millions of young people to pursue their educational aspirations through various programs and partnerships,... particularly focusing on low-income and first-generation students. Although formal programming will conclude in August 2025, the legacy of Reach Higher will continue through the efforts of educators and organizations dedicated to equitable access to education. The initiative aims to inspire every student in America to complete their education beyond high school, whether at a professional training program, community college, or four-year university.Read More
