4/.💡 The intervention:.EMERGE begins in 10th grade and provides 1:1 + small-group college coaching, summer college tours, and SAT prep vouchers. It’s an intensive, sustained effort to support selective college access.

3/.🎯 The problem:.High-achieving, low-SES students often undermatch—attending less selective colleges than they’re qualified for. That can lower graduation odds and long-term economic outcomes.
