Policy, financial, and transportation barriers have limited participation in dual enrollment for marginalized (low‐socioeconomic, first‐generation, and ethnic minority) students in Oklahoma. This chapter presents a collaborative effort by education and community leaders that has successfully eliminated these barriers and increased the number of marginalized students participating in dual enrollment.
