Online Community of Peers
College Prep Scholars have access to an exclusive online community and can connect with other high-achieving, low-income peers also applying to top colleges. This space provides College Prep Scholars the opportunity to build friendships, ask difficult questions, and navigate the National College Match and overall college admissions journey together.
