The average U.S. college dropout rate is 40% (Hanson, 2021), affecting all student ethnic groups. Moreover, underserved populations with STEM majors are significantly more likely to leave school without a degree (Riegle-Crumb, King, & Irizarry, 2019).
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020-21 academic year also saw financial insecurity and mental health challenges increase significantly for students having to balance family responsibilities, jobs, and classes, resulting in lower college enrollment and retention, especially for underserved communities (Dept of Ed Office for Civil Rights, 2021). Those who drop out of college are 3% more likely to be unemployed (US Labor Statistics, 2022) and could cost taxpayers $31B over ten years.
