Student Voice: The Importance of School-Based College Preparation Supports

New research from ACT highlights the importance of school-based college preparation supports for students.

College-bound students from the class of 2023 were recently surveyed to understand their self-reported preparedness for college in four areas: academic, social, personal, and financial preparedness. ACT has identified factors important to students’ self-reported preparedness and gathered information from students to understand what college preparation supports they wish their school had provided to help them better prepare for college.
