Success Boston Coaching: One-on-one Coaching to Support Students on the Path to College Graduation

Success Boston Coaching (SBC) is a one-on-one coaching program that targets students from low-income backgrounds and racial/ethnic minority groups who face social, academic, and logistical barriers to succeeding in college. SBC provides coaching support throughout the academic year, offering on-demand guidance to help prepare students to navigate through to college graduation. The coaching model includes exploratory analyses to assess the impacts of SBC on student outcomes, such as persistence, academic achievement, and financial aid. Coaches support students in managing key deadlines, such as financial aid and course registration deadlines, and provide guidance on academic topics, including reviewing course syllabi, course selection, and degree planning.
