GVSU highlighted as Access Improver

The Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) released a new report highlighting Grand Valley State University as one of 10 Access Improvers — colleges that have increased low-income student enrollments while maintaining strong outcomes. 

The report, "Serving Their Share: Some Colleges Could be Doing a Much Better Job Enrolling and Graduating Low-Income Students," is an in-depth analysis of a report released in August as part of Washington Monthly magazine's College Guide. This new report delves deeper into the methodology and shares in greater detail how schools like Grand Valley are exceeding expectations.

The report notes that Grand Valley increasingly enrolls low-income students while maintaining high performance standards, such as a high graduation rate and low cohort default rate.
