Our Impact
2024 Outcomes
In a landscape where only 22% of Texans have achieved any form of postsecondary education six years after high school, according to The Texas Impact Network, Collegiate Edu-Nation (CEN) is making measurable progress in rural communities. By providing targeted inputs and supports, CEN is helping districts significantly improve student outcomes.
