The postsecondary application process can be complicated, time-consuming, and costly. When navigating this process, many students face a variety of challenges that unnecessarily limit access to postsecondary opportunities. High-quality data is essential to streamlining the admissions process for students—and it is critical that state policy and education leaders, postsecondary education systems, and institutions proactively use data to offer students better pathway information and opportunities.
Our latest resource shares how states can ensure that every student understands the full scope of their options and can act on real opportunities—without being overwhelmed by red tape—by investing in robust, secure, and student-centered state data systems. Inside the resource, we:
- Highlight innovative admissions models from the first cohort of the Lumina Foundation’s Great Admissions Redesign grantees as they plan and implement admissions innovations;
- Examine the role of stronger data systems in addressing challenges and barriers students must currently overcome to access postsecondary education; and
- Identify best practices that have emerged in the field.
