The College Project

 

Developed over the past five years by a classroom teacher, The College Project is a FREE comprehensive project to help high school juniors and seniors figure out how to choose which college is best for them, and how to afford it.

In addition to cost, a lack of information about college options and how to navigate the preparation and application process are major impediments to higher education for many students, particularly those from low-income families.

Students who are knowledgeable about financial aid are more likely to go to college, enroll in a four-year rather than a two-year-college, and attend full-time rather than part-time.

College attendance is the culmination of a  series of steps and benchmarks, and the current landscape is too complex and difficult for many families to decipher and navigate.
