Keep Me In College

Keep Me In College is a Missouri coalition of students, faculty, and staff from private, independent, nonprofit higher education institutions. The coalition advocates for policies that help students access and continue their college education. Its members have successfully worked to protect the Access Missouri program, which provides need-based financial aid to financially deserving students. Building on that effort, Keep Me In College aims to broaden its advocacy to address higher education more generally, working both in Jefferson City and in Washington, DC.

The organization invites students and others to join its coalition, emphasizing that signing up is free and can support efforts to help people stay in college. Its website provides information about the coalition, ways to take action, and educational resources. Visitors can also explore student stories, connect through social media, and contact the organization. By bringing together people connected to independent colleges, Keep Me In College seeks to strengthen support for higher education and the financial aid programs students rely on.
