To and through college.  With your help.

Thank you for your support!

At CollegeBound we invest in Baltimore’s students in many ways:

• Our dedicated College Access Program Specialists (CAPS) work in 17 Baltimore City public high schools, 2 middle schools, and 4 community-based organizations to provide college and financial aid advising to students, many of whom are the first in their families to apply to college. We take students on college bus tours, convene college fairs in the high schools, and help with the complicated financial aid and college application processes.
• We award over $4 million annually in college need-based grants and scholarships to City Schools’ graduates.
• We stay with our students during college and beyond. Our College Completion Program offers City Schools’ graduates continued financial support and advising during college, adult and peer mentors, on-campus liaisons, and workshops and community service activities across the city during college breaks. The program is successful, with 73% of our College Completion students graduating from MD 4-year colleges.
