Elite colleges seek to diversify by transferring from community colleges
A coalition of five private colleges and three public flagships plan to add about 1,100 community college transfer students from low to moderate income families over four years. The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation will provide about $7 million for support programs, with more than $20 million from the colleges themselves. Cal will add roughly 480 slots and prep services for about 1,400 candidates, while UNC-Chapel Hill and Bucknell also outline targeted transfers and growth, aiming to broaden access without sacrificing quality.
