College Summit is a national nonprofit organization that partners with low-income school districts to dramatically increase college enrollment rates by building a college-going culture and giving students the support they need to go to college. College Summit provides partner high schools with the strategy and tools necessary to introduce a post-secondary planning curriculum for the full senior class. The program then trains teachers and counselors to lead the course effectively and to help students connect the dots between their future goals and daily academic work.

The most important element of College Summit's program is its trained student influencers. Partner districts nominate rising seniors to attend an intense four-day college application workshop held at a nearby college during the summer. At the workshop, students learn to write an effective personal statement, apply for financial aid, and self-advocate, all of which emphasize that college is well within their grasp. Armed with these experiences, students return to their schools and spread their expertise and enthusiasm for college, helping to build a college-going culture among their peers.
