The Partnership for College Completion (PCC) is a nonprofit organization based in Chicago, Illinois, focused on advancing college completion and reducing disparities in degree attainment for low-income, first-generation, and students of color in Illinois, with an emphasis on Black and Latinx students. It seeks to influence policies, practices, and systems to expand access to high-quality higher education and to address completion gaps, including initiatives aimed at incarcerated and formerly incarcerated Illinoisans. PCC operates within the higher education advocacy and policy space, collaborating with coalitions and other organizations to pursue statewide improvements in college access and student supports. The organization has a leadership and staff presence in the Chicago area and has engaged in partnerships and advocacy activities aimed at shaping funding and policy landscapes for higher education in Illinois. A recent development includes a planning and coalition-building grant to support expansion of equitable opportunities for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated students within the state.
