This item has been modified from the original to redact the signatures present.This study explores how admissions departments at four-year public universities in Minnesota recruit the low income high school student. In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson acknowledged that generational poverty could be eliminated through education. In 2013, President Obama continues the efforts of President Johnson’s “War on Poverty.” Interviews with three Admissions Directors within the University of Minnesota and MnSCU systems revealed that collaborations with college access programs such as federally funded Upward Bound, community, cultural, and university level diversity programs are integral to the recruitment of the low income high school student.enLow income high school studentFour-year public universitiesCollege recruitmentMaster of EducationDepartment of EducationCollege of Education and Human Service ProfessionsUniversity of Minnesota DuluthPlan Cs (coursework-based master's degrees)College students -- Recruiting -- Minnesota.Low-income high school students -- Minnesota.Scholarly Text or Essay
