Abstract: Non-financial barriers to college are an important possible explanation for socioeconomic, racial, gender, and other gaps in college access and success. A sizeable economic literature documents policy efforts to understand and address these barriers. We review this literature on non-financial interventions for improving college access and success ranging from discreet and narrowly defined interventions to comprehensive and multifaceted programs and systemic-level solutions.
