We had an amazing turn out at our College Information Night on 9/20/23.  If you were unable to attend, you can still view our presentation below for information.  
 
The presentation covers Higher Education: What is it? How to prepare for college? It also reviews the different college systems and Financial Aid.  It is important to understand the process and deadlines.  The application window is opening soon!  Our College Boost Mentors and Counselors will start holding College Application Workshops and Financial Aid Workshops.  
 
We are here to help each step of the way!
