ACT is committed to closing opportunity and outcome gaps across diverse demographics, including students of color, first-generation college students, and those facing economic challenges. With over 60 years of experience as a trusted assessment organization, ACT emphasizes equity by design through its Center for Equity in Learning. This strategic initiative focuses on promoting equity-driven research, investing in impactful equity organizations, and providing vital information about the challenges faced by diverse learners.

Among its key programs is the American College Application Campaign (ACAC), which has supported approximately 4.2 million students in completing college applications since its inception in 2005. ACT also distributes around $32 million annually in fee waivers, ensuring that low-income students can access the ACT test and use learning resources at no cost. By empowering students and addressing systemic barriers, ACT aims to revolutionize education and workforce success for all individuals, fostering a world where everyone can realize their full potential.
