This paper highlights qualitative data focused on implementation.Findings Findings illustrate impediments and strategies for implementing a school-wide digital intervention.Research limitations/implications Research focused on one particular intervention and is thus limited in scope.Practical implications The study has the potential to assist practitioners in better serving students from low-income and minoritized communities through digital tools.Social implications The study has implications for increasing the number of first-generation and minoritized youth who apply to and enroll in college.
