College success may mean working less and studying more.

Get Schooled, a Viacom and MTV Networks initiative, was launched in September to educate policy makers on ways to improve the nation's school systems. MTV's iteration of the campaign is college completion, and addressing the barriers students face when pursuing higher education.

Celebrities including Kelly Clarkson, LeBron James, Keri Hilson, Marc Ecko and Common have joined Get Schooled and MTV to encourage students to stay in school and educate government on the ways it can support students struggling to balance college with work and family commitments.

Although college enrollment has increased over the past decade, college completion has drastically decreased. The U.S. Department of Education reports less than half of college students finish within six years. At community public colleges less than 20 percent finish in three years.

A survey released on Wednesday by Public Agenda in conjunction with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation suggests full-time jobs and family obligations are the major obstacles to college completion.

"The conventional wisdom is that students leave school because they aren't willing to work hard and aren't really interested in more education," said Jean Johnson, director of Education Insights at Public Agenda. "What we found was almost precisely the opposite. Most are working and go to school at the same time, and most are not getting financial help from their families or the system itself."

Young people can access information and resources related to college completion at the Get Schooled Web site, and watch the "Get Schooled: You Have a Right"

special featuring President Barack Obama, LeBron James and Kelly Clarkson.
