Beyond 12 is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to increase the number of first generation, underrepresented and low-income students who graduate from our nation’s colleges and universities.
Through an innovative technology platform and a student coaching service, Beyond 12 helps high schools and colleges connect with and support their students to ensure they earn a postsecondary degree. Beyond 12's vision is that one day every student who enrolls in college will be prepared to handle the rigors of higher education and will earn a degree with genuine economic value. In order to realize this vision, Beyond 12 will act as a data and service bridge between our lower and higher education systems.
By creating a critical feedback loop between P-12 (pre-school through high school) and higher education (colleges and universities), Beyond 12 will eliminate the artificial barriers between both systems and formalize the sharing of data so students, particularly those most underserved, become better equipped to thrive and succeed at all levels of their educational journey.
