This represents 20% of the adult population.Source: ACS 1-Year Estimates-Public Use Microdata Sample 2019What are the Premiums Gained from College Completion for Adults?There are myriad advantages – or premiums – at the personal, family, and community level that can only be realized with a degree.However, tremendous education attainment inequities exist in attaining those advantages.Consider this: If you are white you are over 1.5 times more likely to hold a bachelor’s degree than if you are black, and nearly 2.5 times more likely than if you are Latinx. Source: ACS 1-Year Estimates 1-Year Estimates-Public Use Microdata SampleWage PremiumIn general, those 25 and older with a bachelor’s degree earn about $28,000 more than those with some college but no degree.The average bachelor’s degree holder earns $73,000 annually, while those with some college who have not yet earned their degree earn an average of $45,000 annually.Source: ACS 1-Year Estimates-Public Use Microdata Sample 2019Equity PremiumOver time bachelor’s degree completers of color earn at or above their in-state median wage for their major.Five years after graduation the median Latinx bachelor’s degree completers earned 81% more than those Latinx students who did not complete their degree.The figure was 59% more for Black degree completers.Source: Equitable value: Promoting economic mobility and social justice through postsecondary education.The Postsecondary Value Commission. Institute for Higher Education Policy; Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.May 2021, p 62. (NOTE: data taken from University of Texas System.)Generational PremiumAdults who complete their degree change the trajectories for their families. Children of parents who have earned a bachelor’s degree are more likely to enroll, persist, and graduate.Students with parents who attained a degree were more likely to graduate than first generation students: 74% versus 56%Students with parents who attained a degree were more likely to persist in college coursework than first generation students: 67%versus 48%Students with parents who attained a degree were less likely to leave college and not return: 14% versus 33%Source: First-Generation Students College Access, Persistence, and Postbachelor’s Outcomes.U S Department of Education. National Center for Education Statistics. February 2018Civic and Social PremiumCommunities with more college completers are healthier, have greater civic engagement, and are generally better positioned to thrive when comparing data with those who have some college, no degree (SCND). Those with a bachelor’s degree are 3 times less likely to smoke tobacco than those with some college no degree (SCND).Those with a bachelor’s degree are more likely to exercise across all age groups than those with some college no degree (SCND).(76%-83% versus 71%-77%)Those with a bachelor’s degree are more likely to volunteer than those with some college no degree (SCND): 42% versus 31%Those with a bachelor’s degree, ages 25-44, were 18% more likely to vote than those with some college no degree (SCND): 62% versus 44% in 2018.Source: Education Pays 2019. The College Board, 2019Who are Comebackers?Comebackers are members of our communities who – as adults – aspire for a different future for themselves. At some point in their past, they enrolled in college and earned credit; often they were the first in their families to attend college.Because of numerous factors unique to their individual circumstances, they did not have the opportunity to complete. The majority of Comebackers who have benefited from institution-neutral navigation services to return to college are people of color, a community of students for whom systems have not traditionally supported post-secondary success. Yet they chose to return to become teachers or nurses or scientists or the thousands of other professions that require a bachelor’s degree or more; to be role models for the young people in their lives; or simply to fulfill a dream; or for all these reasons and more.They are courageous, embarking on and persevering with a journey that is rife with challenges and obstacles. To celebrate these extraordinary individuals – individuals whose grit and resilience should inspire us all to do better – we call them Comebackers.76The percent of TGN Comebackers who re-enroll and identify as BIPOC, compared with 36 percent of the overall NSC-defined SCND population who re-enroll and identify as such. .alignleft { float: left;
