As you wrap up the academic year with us, we're thrilled to share some highlights, gratitude, and about our upcoming QuickStart to College and Learning with Leaders events.
Past - Financial aid events
We are incredibly grateful for the many volunteers, school and college partners that stepped up to support students and families at various financial aid workshops. In the 2022-2023 school year, we helped coordinate 69 events and served over 1,263 students, 136 of which were qualified for the College Bound Scholarship. Our expanded capacity was made possible due to funding and support from BTC, SVC, and WCC! If you know of any students who would like help completing their application we have one more virtual event Wednesday, June 14th, 5:30-6:30. Cheers to an incredible year and finishing strong!
Present - Quickstart to College
Summer is right around the corner, which means Quickstart to College application is open! We’re thrilled to offer this no-cost summer camp opportunity that prepares students for college selection, applications, scholarships, and financial aid processes. Thanks to our supporters, we are able to put on our biggest event yet! If you know a rising senior who would benefit from some additional support, our application deadline is June 19th.
