The Partnership for College Completion and Chicago State University invite Illinois residents to participate in a one-hour interview about their student experiences. We want to hear directly from current students and former students about what influenced their decision to enroll or not enroll in college, what factored into decisions to stay enrolled, stop out, or return after time away.
Your perspective will help inform recommendations to improve college access, persistence, and support for students across Illinois.

You may be eligible if you:
- Are 18 years or older
- Identify as Black or African American
- Have completed three (3) years of high school in Illinois
