Breakthrough Central Texas is a mid-sized nonprofit organization in the higher education sector focused on expanding college access and success for students who are often the first in their families to pursue higher education. For more than two decades, it has partnered with thousands of middle and high school students aiming to earn a degree or credential. The organization provides personalized support, collaborates with community partners, campuses, and employers, and advocates for students with lawmakers. Its reach spans students across more than 60 public schools and persistence at nearly 100 colleges and universities in the region. The impact is reflected in graduation outcomes, with about 60% of Breakthrough students completing a college degree compared with roughly 15% among low-income students regionwide, and more than 350 graduates to date with thousands more on their path. In April 2026, Breakthrough Central Texas participated in the National College Attainment Network Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., signaling ongoing engagement in national college-access advocacy.
