ACT’s commitment to advancing and celebrating equity, access, and opportunity for all is embedded in our DNA. More than 60 years ago, ACT’s founders believed that our signature standardized college admissions test would broaden access to college for underrepresented students and help diversify college campuses. This foresight is now ACT’s mission—a vision to help more people learn, measure their progress, and improve their navigation through life’s transitions.
