Abstract
This dissertation explores students’ access to high-quality information and advisors to help them advance through the K-12 education system and into the postsecondary system. Financial aid policies are an example of one type of high-resource, high-intensity intervention to address income gaps in college-going. However, there are several other potential policy interventions that address the non-pecuniary resources students need to navigate the education system, and there are several leverage points earlier in students’ education trajectory that merit intervention well before students make the decision about whether and where to apply to college.
