José’s story isn’t unique. Many students have no one to walk them through what college is about, and their decisions end up influenced by prestige, pressure, and incomplete information. Our publication, The Fit Imperative, explores the college success students have when they find a school that fits their academic skills, financial situation, and personal priorities. Informed by research and on-the-ground practices, the report details four conditions that can help teens take a healthy approach to future planning that sets them up for success, however they define it.

Personal fit is critical to helping young people be successful in their postsecondary education, but decisions are often influenced by prestige, pressure, or incomplete information. Our new publication, The Fit Imperative, explores this dynamic and offers four conditions that help teens take a healthy approach to future planning: 🔹 Vision building 🔹 Opportunities to explore skills and interests 🔹 Access to relevant information 🔹 Perspective from caring adults When teens focus on their strengths, needs, and aspirations to find their fit, they’re less likely to transfer, accumulate debt, and leave college without a degree. We have free guides families, teens, and education leaders at all levels can use to put these insights into practice.
