Schuler Access Initiative

The Schuler Access Initiative will substantially expand access for both undocumented students and Pell-eligible students to highly selective liberal arts colleges.

The Schuler Education Foundation is investing funds through the Schuler Access Initiative to substantially expand access for both undocumented students and Pell-eligible students to attend highly selective liberal arts colleges.  

The Foundation works with highly selective liberal arts colleges to:

  • Increase Undocumented and Pell Eligible Access: Increase the percentage of undocumented and Pell eligible low-income students attending each college. An incremental increase of 2% - 6% of the student body is the target range. 
  • Activate Partner College’s Donor Base: Double the impact of the investment by requiring colleges to generate 1:1 matching grants for undocumented and Pell eligible access. 

The Schuler Access Initiative is not accepting new partner applications at this time.
