CR21 Northeast Wisconsin

College Readiness 21 (CR21) Northeast Wisconsin prepares a diverse, under-served group of students for college. The program serves students who lack access to higher education opportunities but possess the drive to succeed. Through CR21, students receive a continuum of support services that guides them toward long-term self-sufficiency and encourages them to become and remain lifetime learners. 


While CR21 serves students from many diverse backgrounds, its main focus is on first generation, low-income, and minority students. Currently, CR21 serves 163 students in Northeastern Wisconsin. The following are the demographic characteristics of our students:

  • First Generation Status: 144 (88%) students will be the first in their families to go to college.
  • Low-Income Status: 70 (43%) students are considered low-income (based on their eligibility to receive subsidized school lunch).
  • Ethnicity: Caucasian: 105 (64%), Asian American: 34 (21%), African American: 10 (6%), Latino or Latina: 10 (6%), Native American: 2 (1%), Other: 2 (1%).

 

While CR21 serves students from many diverse backgrounds, its main focus is on first generation, low-income, and minority students. CR21 recruits students who would not otherwise be on a pre-college track or, in some cases, would not be on track to graduate from high school.  Currently, CR21 serves 163 students in Northeastern Wisconsin.
