  • Countering all
    the previous findings, this first-of-its kind study has also highlighted that
    low-income students are in many ways just as technologically savvy as their
    well-off counterparts.
    
  • The
    study was carried out for six months on students of thirteen urban high schools
    in the Midwest, between ages 16 to 18, belonging to families whose incomes were
    at or below the county median income (at or below 25,000 dollars) and who were
    taking part in an after school program, Admission Possible, aimed at improving
    college access for low-income
    youth.
