Get to College 2022 Update
Published on December 20, 2022 by Praharsha Gurram
The Get to College Project has had a great year so far in 2022! As we have previously mentioned we were able to raise $15,000 dollars to sponsor 5 students in our program. In addition we have networked 4 college counselors who have agreed to counsel the students that apply to our program.
In the last few months, we have been trying to get students into the application pool but have found some difficulty doing so. With our intention being to network student sources, via partnering with another organization or high school, we have had troubles finding a sustainable connection. As a result, we haven't been able to utilize our donations just yet. However, in this process of finding partner organizations, our network has grown, and just this month we have created new successful connections with both New York University’s Pipeline and Access team, as well as with a local NYC high school, named Millennium High School. In early 2023, we expect to match our counselors with students from these programs.
Once making the matches, we will begin our second fundraising round for our next year! Thank you so much for your support for the Get to College Project!
