The Power 150 Index

Charting a Successful Journey to College Completion

The first step in our scholars' successful college journey is applying to and then attending a college that matches their academic achievements––also known as college matching. Alliance has sought solutions to help identify the best schools for supporting our scholars, and has put programs in place to encourage, inform, and match our scholars to the most selective colleges for which they’re eligible.

The Power 150TM Index is key to our college-success initiatives. Alliance has identified the U.S. colleges and universities with a graduation rate of 75% or higher for underrepresented minorities. Armed with powerful insights from this analysis, counselors are better able to match Alliance scholars with the colleges and universities that will support them to college completion.
