YPIE's New Data Shows College Enrollment Remains High and Steady

Dear YPIE Family,

YPIE's newly released impact data demonstrates just how remarkable YPIE students have been during some of the most challenging times of the pandemic.

Despite nearly one million students falling off the college track across the country, YPIE’s recent impact data shows:

YPIE college enrollment remains high and steady; competitive college enrollment has been increasing
YPIE 2021 graduates enrolled in college at a significantly higher rate than similar students
YPIE 2020 graduates in college persisted into their 2nd year, staying on track for a college degree

These are not just numbers. They represent the perseverance of individual students, some overcoming unimaginable obstacles to achieve success.

We remain committed to matching their determination by keeping students on the surest path toward upward mobility. Even while the economy is in flux, a college degree continues to be a key tool for our students to build the futures they deserve.

Your continued support makes all of this possible.

With gratitude,

Sam Wallis

Executive Director
