Student Research

At EdTrust, our Higher Education Research team is committed to conducting research with students, not just about them. We prioritize inclusive research practices that recognize students as experts in their own experiences and as critical contributors to knowledge production.

We engage student researchers through our Data & Research Internship Program and the Nichols Higher Education Research Fellowship, as well as through collaborations with students completing independent research, capstones, and projects through student consulting organizations. This page showcases the work and impact of student researchers whose contributions and insights help inform higher education policy and practice.
