Abstract: The process of applying to college can be one filled with stress and anxiety, especially for first generation, low income, and historically underserved and excluded populations. Some students self-select out of the process due to perceived barriers, lack of information, or the complexity of the college search process. Students and families may not be aware that they have multiple college and degree options within the state of Minnesota or about the financial aid resources that may be available to them. Direct Admissions seeks to change this by shifting the paradigm of college admissions to empower students with the knowledge that they are college material and that multiple institutions are ready to admit them. Through a personalized communication signed by the Office of Higher Education, students are given a list of no less than 28 higher education institutions (and up to 55) that have affirmed that they will admit the student upon application and will waive any application fees. The report includes information about the program design, implementation challenges and recommendations, and outcomes.
