Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Report
July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021
Our Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Report looks back on the lessons, innovations, and achievements of the past year. It also does something else: It dares to dream of the future. More than ever, we need bold solutions and systemic change to ensure more students can achieve their greatest postsecondary aspirations. Highlights from the report include:
- Alumna Lisbeth Valencia Mendoza speaks to how she found the right path for her postsecondary dreams,
- We share how we leveraged data, technology + partnerships to help students understand their diverse options and find their best fit, and
- Our commitment to continue meeting the challenges of a changing world as we pursue ambitious goals for the future.
Thank you for your support then and now.
