“Only 60% of America's low-income youth (defined as students eligible for free and reduced meals) can expect to graduate from high school. One in three can expect to enroll in college. Only one in seven will earn a bachelor's degree.” Our Mission CollegeWorks increases four-year college enrollment rates for low-income, high achieving students by providing research-based college counseling expertise that serves the unique interests of each family. Our professional college counselors equip students and families with the knowledge to select, attend, and graduate from the nation's leading colleges and universities. Our Vision CollegeWorks will strategically collaborate with an ever-growing network of students, families, high schools, youth organizations, community leaders, colleges, universities, and donors in order to become the preeminent college counseling organization in the United States. CollegeWorks' students, upon graduation, will become leading members of their communities acting as catalysts for beneficial social change. |
 Colgate Alum Adonal Foyle and Colgate Freshman Henry Grant"I never thought about where I would go until last fall," said Henry Grant, a recent graduate of Oakland High School who will be the first in his family to go to college when he attends Colgate University this fall with a financial aid award of over $48,000. "I can honestly say that CollegeWorks is a program that changed my life. Mr. Henrotin and the CollegeWorks' staff assisted me every step of the way pertaining to college and life in general. I can remember calling Andrew on his cell phone, and no matter what time of day it was, he would answer. I would ask him questions regarding the rigorous application and financial aid process - things my parents could not help me with. They did not go to college and did not know what to do. I am forever grateful to CollegeWorks for this amazing opportunity." Henry Grant, Freshman, Colgate University, Oakland High School, Class of 2007 |
