Strive for College Collaborative
Program Description
The Strive for College Collaborative endeavors to raise college admission rates for qualified, low-income high school students through a “high-tech, high touch” mentoring system. The “high tech” aspect is a comprehensive technology system that provides an advanced college admissions search tool and an application management center; the “high touch” aspect brings together undergraduates, college counselors, admissions officers, and financial aid experts to motivate, educate, and guide prospective students.
