Abstract	With over 4,400 colleges and universities offering a variety of degrees and programs, and more than 2,000 non-degree granting institutions, the postsecondary education landscape within the United States can be a complex web to navigate for high school students (U.S. Department of Education, 2012). The transition from high school to postsecondary school can be particularly challenging for students who grew up in another country or for those born to parents who had limited experience within the United States educational system. There exists programs sponsored by the state and federal governments, nonprofit agencies, and higher education institutions that aim to help immigrant students prepare for college and succeed once enrolled; this report provides an overview of the work of ten college access programs for immigrant students in Minnesota in order to facilitate cross-organizational learning about the delivery of such college access programs for immigrant students. The report focuses on challenging issues experienced by the program providers as well as innovative strategies that the organizations have devised to facilitate the transition from high school to postsecondary school for immigrant students.
