Bottom Line

Since its founding in 1997, Bottom Line has helped thousands of first-generation students from low-income backgrounds stay in college and complete their degrees. They believe that students need a mentor and a guide during the college application process and throughout college to succeed. Bottom Line currently serves over 8,000 students through two program areas - College Access and College Success. The College Access program serves high school seniors by providing one-on-one guidance from Bottom Line advisors. Advisors support students throughout the college application and decision process. The program gives students the support and guidance they need to make an informed decision about attending college. Through the College Success program, college students receive support and guidance based on Bottom Line's DEAL rubric for up to 6 years or until they graduate. On-campus support is personalized to each student, and ensures they are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to persist and graduate from college with a career plan in place.
