The Roadmap for Equitable Higher Educations
By 2031, nearly 75% of jobs in Massachusetts will require education beyond high school—making higher education not just a pathway to opportunity, but a cornerstone of the state’s economic future. Yet deep and persistent disparities in college enrollment, retention, and completion continue to leave too many students behind, especially those from underserved communities.
Our Mission
The Hildreth Institute, a trusted source of independent research, is committed to driving systemic change in higher education by promoting affordability, accountability, and equity, empowering advocates and decision-makers with student-centered, equity-driven policy analysis, thereby, fostering an inclusive and transformative educational landscape.
