But until recently, we had limited information about how colleges rank in terms of graduating students from limited economic means.

This data comes from new reporting requirements for colleges and universities that enroll students who qualify for Federal Pell Grants. https://www.forbes.com/sites/richardbarth/2018/10/31/new-data-brings-daylight-to-the-graduation-gap-in-higher-education/#c4c0dbd1e30b
