Creating the College Prep Cart of Awesomeness

My students need filing carts, binders, and legal files in order to organize and store college preparatory materials that can be easily accessed in the college search process.

My Students

Students at my school desire access to a post-secondary education, but often lack the knowledge and resources necessary to achieve these goals. Creating this college prep cart will help to ensure that these important resources are organized and readily available for students to use!

The amazing students at my school often come from low-income households.

Many students are aspiring first-generation college students. Unfortunately, research at the school has shown that most students do not understand the college application process. Many wait until the last minute, and are unprepared when the opportunity arises; leading to fewer than half of our students attending college post-graduation. These are incredible kids with phenomenal dreams and goals, who simply need additional support in this process. Properly organizing this information will give our kids consistent and easy access to the pertinent information they need to engage in the college application process.

My Project

The materials in this project will be used to organize and create the "College Prep Cart of Awesomeness", a resource hub that will contain all of the information students need to search for and apply to colleges across the country. Individual college guidebooks, scholarship opportunities, student paperwork, and more will all be compiled to make up the different elements of this cart, which can then be utilized by students and staff throughout the building. My students need filing carts, binders, and legal files in order to organize and store college preparatory materials that can be easily accessed in the college search process.

Our kids deserve every chance to pursue a post-secondary education.

The current reality that nearly half of our graduates do not have that opportunity is something that must change. By ensuring that the resources necessary for students to be successful in applying to college are made readily available, I believe that we will see these numbers change. This may seem like a simple, small project, but it is one that, with your help, could be life changing for so many kids.
