The National Partnership for Educational Access (NPEA) is a membership association for programs and schools that provide underrepresented students with academic preparation, placement services and counseling, and ongoing support to ensure enrollment at and graduation from college.

Once you join NPEA, you become part of a learning community of peers committed to increasing access to educational opportunities for underrepresented students. The two top reasons members join: to share best practices and grow as professionals in the field.

NPEA members encompass nonprofit programs; independent, public, and charter schools; colleges, universities, and others committed to increasing educational opportunities and improving college access for underrepresented students. 

The NPEA conference is an opportunity for networking, professional development, and best practice exchanges with professional peers and experts from across the country.
