The Institute For College Access & Success

An independent, nonprofit organization, The Institute for College Access & Success (TICAS) works to make higher education more available and affordable for people of all backgrounds. Through nonpartisan research, analysis, and advocacy, TICAS aims to improve the processes and public policies that can pave the way to successful educational outcomes for students and for society. Our Project on Student Debt works to increase public understanding of student debt and the implications for our families, economy, and society. TICAS was a 2012 recipient of Opportunity Knocks' "Best Nonprofit to Work For" award (http://content.opportunityknocks.org/bestnp/).
