people there with you, going through the process, really helps you, because they have experience with it already.”

management,”Collegeforward.org

Help Pave Paths to Success Chris, College Forward Student

Attended four day tour of colleges “We got an awesome idea about different kinds of

colleges…College Forward has made the prospect of going to college more real…I’ve always had… a desire to be scholarly. I see now that college is more attainable. I’m for sure going. It’s in my grasp now.”

Vanessa, College Forward Student “I never really considered art as something I could

do [in school]…but my Coach, Emily, really got me thinking about art, thinking that I could do something like that.”Collegeforward.org
