First-generation college students and students from low-income families face financial, social, informational, and academic barriers to college completion because of the high cost of postsecondary education, the complexity of navigating college life, misalignment between high school and college academic expectations, and a general lack of guidance and information. Future Connect is a comprehensive scholarship and advising support program at Portland Community College (PCC) in Portland, Oregon, that seeks to change the lives of first-generation and low-income students. This report is the first external evaluation of Future Connect. It examines the program's impact on college performance, progression, persistence, transfer, and completion. Additionally, qualitative data were collected to understand the perspectives of coaches, participants, and alumni on the effectiveness of the program and to explore how Future Connect might be impacting students' academic and nonacademic outcomes. The report also provides a more complete understanding of the financial barriers Future Connect students have to overcome to achieve college success, and it offers suggestions for program improvements and next steps.
