“It’s a text message‐based service designed to support you to succeed in college and earn a degree or credential. The nudges will help you improve your study and learning strategies, remind you of important dates and deadlines, tell you about helpful resources on campus, and keep you motivated toward your goals. Other current and former foster youth in college have found it helpful and motivating, and studies show that students who use the service are more likely to stay in college and graduate.” “It’s a text message‐based service designed to support you to succeed in college and earn a degree or credential.

Due to the dynamic nature of the nudges (students getting different nudges at different times based on who they are, their college, and how they respond), P+ cannot provide programs with the exact messages they are sending their youth. P+ & JBAY will host a webinar once per semester to share with providers in Beyond the Safety Net what P+ is learning from student response trends.
