course of their lifetimes, and the children of college grad-

graduates to go to college; 
Whereas each year, more than 200,000 low-income high 
school graduates in the United States who are prepared 
for college do not enroll, resulting in a loss of 
$80,000,000,000 in combined tax revenue that this group 
of students would generate over the course of their life-
times if they attended college; 
Whereas high-achieving low-income students go to college at 
approximately the same rate as low-achieving students 
from wealthy families; 
Whereas College Summit, an organization with offices and 
operations across the country, is dedicated to increasing 
the college enrollment rate of low-income students by en-

Whereas College Summit responds to the challenges low-in-

based strategy in its work with students and their fami-
lies, and by equipping students with the knowledge that 
is necessary to apply, be accepted to, and enroll in col-

percent for low-income students), and 80 percent of 
whom are currently pursuing a degree or have graduated 
from college, despite their average high school grade 
point average of 2.85; 
Whereas College Summit students have obtained over 
$40,000,000 in scholarships to attend institutions of 
higher education that meet their academic, social, and fi-
nancial needs; and 
Whereas many American students would not have attended 
college were it not for College Summit, and many more 
students would benefit from College Summit if the pro-

Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes College Summit, a preeminent 
nonprofit organization, for its dedication to increas-
ing college enrollment rates in low-income commu-

(2) encourages the Committee on Education

Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pen-

Summit in its mission to increase the college enroll-
