Congratulations, seniors! You’ve worked hard to get accepted into college and are one step closer to achieving your dreams. However, you may have noticed that the cost of college can be a significant burden, especially for students from underrepresented communities.

That staggering statistic highlights the need for financial assistance to help students bridge the gap. To help address this issue, we’re hosting a College and Scholarship Working Session.
