The Education Trust-West

 Press Room

The Education Trust-West is a non-profit organization committed to improving education for all students at all levels, kindergarten through college.  We focus on the schools and colleges most often left behind in efforts to improve education: those serving low-income, Latino, African American and Native American students. 

 

The Education Trust—West was established in 2001 to close the achievement gap that separates low income students and students of color from others in California and surrounding western states.
