Leaning Into Best Practices
Although NISS has only been in existence for a little over two years, it has helped hundreds of institutions from across the nation reach millions of students, particularly Black, Brown, low-income and first-generation students, looking to increase graduation rates and close equity gaps. NISS has raised graduation rates by an average of 4.5 percentage points — four times better than the national average of .8 percentage points, as calculated by the National Student Clearinghouse, a nonprofit organization that collects enrollment data for almost all U.S. postsecondary institutions.
