OnTrackEDU is a structured digital platform that guides 11th and 12th grade students through every stage of the college access journey — built for schools, nonprofits, and community organizations serving underresourced populations.
average counselor-to-student ratio in U.S. public high schools — far exceeding the ASCA recommended 1:250 and making individualized college guidance nearly impossible in underresourced schools
of high schools offer dedicated college counseling — disproportionately concentrated in wealthier districts, leaving Title I schools and their students without structured guidance
of low-income students experience "summer melt" — accepted to college but failing to enroll due to missing forms, incomplete financial aid steps, or absence of follow-up support

Students in Title I schools are 40% less likely to receive hands-on assistance with financial aid forms such as the FAFSA compared to their higher-income peers — one of the most consequential and preventable gaps in college access.
Studies show students who begin but do not complete college applications rarely fail due to academic performance or motivation — but because of bureaucratic and procedural confusion. The barrier is process, not potential.
Community-based organizations are now central to college access work — yet most lack ready-to-use, data-backed curricula they can deploy without building custom programs from scratch. OnTrackEDU closes that gap.
First-generation and low-income students apply to fewer colleges and less selective institutions — even when their academic profiles match more advantaged peers. The gap is not academic. It is informational, structural, and organizational.
Individual-focused EdTech tools consistently underperform in underresourced communities because they assume a baseline of adult or counselor engagement that most schools and nonprofits cannot provide. OnTrackEDU is designed for the organizations doing the work — not as a consumer product that assumes support already exists.
The downstream consequences are institutional as well as individual. Schools lose funding when college-going rates stagnate. Communities lose talent pipelines. The cost of inaction compounds at every level of the system.
System-level interventions work. When organizations adopt structured college-going programs, first-generation enrollment rates rise by 20–35% within two years, per analyses from the College Advising Corps and the National College Attainment Network. OnTrackEDU is built to be that intervention — deployable, measurable, and built for the organizations already serving these students.
Each module is sequenced to mirror the natural decision timeline of 11th and 12th grade students, with interactive tools, downloadable resources, and progress tracking built in.
OnTrackEDU is designed to integrate into existing programming — not replace it. We partner with institutions that are already doing the work and need scalable infrastructure to do it better.
Title I schools, continuation schools, and alternative education programs with high first-generation student populations and limited counseling resources.
Community-based organizations, college access programs, youth development organizations, and nonprofits serving underresourced students in out-of-school time.
Institutions seeking to expand first-generation and underrepresented student enrollment through pipeline partnerships with high schools and community organizations.
OnTrackEDU was founded by Trinity Jolley — a first-generation, low-income transfer student who was admitted to 30 colleges, studied abroad, had her education fully funded, and graduated from the University of Southern California at 19. That experience is not incidental to the platform. It is the proof of concept for it.
Trinity holds a B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Social Work and Juvenile Justice, and a Master's in Educational Technology from Louisiana State University. Her academic background grounds the platform in an understanding of structural inequity, systems navigation, and how technology can be deployed to close access gaps at scale — not just deliver content.
Professionally, Trinity has served as Program Manager on the HeyTutor LAUSD Division of Instruction Pilot, coordinating large-scale district site operations, tutor deployment, and school partnership alignment as a liaison between school sites and internal teams. She served six years as a Board Member at Aveson Charter Schools — bringing governance-level perspective to institutional decision-making, school operations, and organizational accountability. Her broader experience spans multi-site educational program management, nonprofit capacity building, and grant writing across school and community-based partnerships.
She has worked at the intersection of education, technology, nonprofit capacity building, and grant writing throughout her career — which means she understands not just what students need, but how organizations are funded, measured, and held accountable for delivering it.
OnTrackEDU is accepting pilot partnership inquiries from schools, districts, and nonprofits ahead of our 2027 launch. Pilot partners receive structured access to The Get-In Guide curriculum in exchange for student outcome data and program feedback — a defined value exchange that supports both program validation and organizational impact reporting.
