Widen the Path is a program of Higher learning advocates 

Higher Learning Advocates is a bipartisan non-profit organization that advocates for solutions to break down systemic barriers and support the success of today’s students in their pursuit of education and skills development beyond high school. We advance federal policies that create transparent pathways to success, incentivize innovation, protect students and taxpayers, and improve student outcomes.

While more students are participating in higher education than ever before, there is a vast and growing disconnect between federal policy and the needs of today’s students, employers, and communities. Most federal policies and funding models were designed to meet the needs of the students and employers of the 1970s. Yet, today’s students are more diverse than any previous generation of college students—in age, race, and income level—and many have work and family responsibilities that extend beyond the classroom. They deserve updated policies to better support their needs.

We are committed to the change needed to support the needs and success of today’s students, and are advocating for policies that support a postsecondary system that is student-centered, outcomes-based, and focused on ensuring all of today’s students can access and succeed.
