Sending our Students to College
By completing the FAFSA application, college going students can determine their eligibility for federal student aid. Currently only about 1/3 of the valleys graduating seniors are completing FAFSA. Through Pathways to Success and partnering with the local school districts, we want to increase this amount by 20% in 2011! The Coachella Valley has approximately 3,500 graduating high school seniors this year. If we achieved our goal, this could mean between $500,000 to $1 million in additional funding going directly to our students and into our local colleges. That's a pretty good ROI in our valley!
Pathways to Success will be hosting a fundraiser in February to raise money and awareness for FAFSA. More details to follow..... |
Thanks for reading and look for our newsletter next week! |
