Abstract	When postsecondary education is accessible and pathways to earning a credential are available to all, the economic and personal benefits afforded to both individuals and society are substantial. Improving access and completion using strategies that attempt to support all students--regardless of demographic background--may yield important progress. There are significant and longstanding racial disparities across student populations with respect to college access and completion in Washington. Alongside these racial disparities are disparities in access and completion for other underserved populations, including: adult learners, foster youth, incarcerated and previously incarcerated individuals, low-income students, LGBTQ students, undocumented or DACA students, and veteran learners. This research brief chronicles high-level evidence of inequitable access and attainment in Washington higher education and identifies potential state-level efforts to advance equitable outcomes for students from historically excluded and underserved populations. The authors complement this scan of state strategies with a distillation of the state- or system-supported initiatives that existing evidence suggests can contribute to widescale improvements in equitable access and attainment.
