Bottom Line helps first-generation students from under-resourced backgrounds graduate from high school and college and obtain a successful first career through free one-on-one advising. The first College Access cohort started in the fall of 2024 and is comprised of 170 high school seniors from partner school districts, including Dayton Public, Trotwood-Madison, Mad River Local, Middletown, Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School, Miami Early College Academy and DECA. All students in Montgomery County College Promise also have the option to be enrolled in Bottom Line. Funds primarily will be used to provide 120 students from Dayton Public Schools with full-time, trauma-trained advisors who will help College Access students navigate the college application process during their senior year.
