Targeted outreach and aid are helping more students return, as Jevona Anderson nears a bachelor's degree after leaving college.
- Colleges nationwide are successfully reenrolling former students using data-driven outreach and financial aid to remove barriers preventing degree completion.
- Many students initially leave college due to 'life happens' moments—family deaths, evictions, or financial struggles—often carrying student loans but lacking degrees to boost earnings.
- Jevona Anderson, a 59-year-old student at the University of Baltimore, returned to finish her degree after personal crises; a $96 scholarship stabilized her finances and enabled reenrollment.
- University of Baltimore director Richie Ince noted that identifying high-potential students is key, with institutions partnering with ReUp to facilitate reenrollment through personalized coaching.
- These initiatives aim to improve long-term earning potential for students who previously lacked degrees while navigating complex personal and financial responsibilities.
