Grit, Luck and Money
Audio currently not available for this program.More people are going to college than ever before, but a lot of them aren't finishing. Low-income students, in particular, struggle to get to graduation. Only 9 percent complete a bachelor's degree by age 24. Why are so many students quitting, and what leads a few to beat the odds and make it through? The program meets young people trying to break into the middle class, teachers trying to increase their chances and researchers investigating the nature of persistence.
