We work hand-in-hand with degree-aspiring students from under-resourced communities, providing personalized support to help them get into college, graduate on time, and launch careers that drive meaningful, lasting impact.
How We Drive Success
Our Approach is Different. At Bottom Line, we believe every student deserves a dedicated mentor throughout their college journey. Our Advisors offer consistent, personalized, one-on-one support, combining expert guidance with a deep commitment to helping thousands of students find the right-fit, affordable college—and thrive there.
Bridging the College Access Gap
Students from low-income backgrounds are 30% less likely to attend college compared to their high-income peers. Bottom Line levels the playing field by guiding students through every step of the college application and financial aid processes, ensuring equal opportunities for success.
