CollegeTracks Graduation Celebration, April 19, 2017
OUR VISION
Every student who graduates from high school in Montgomery County deserves the opportunity to complete college or technical school regardless of his or her family income.
CollegeTracks changes lives and communities by giving Montgomery County’s low-income, first-generation-to-college students the chance to go to colleges where they can succeed with enough financial aid and continued support to help them graduate.
The College Access Program
Our Access Program helps junior and senior high school students understand their college and career options, identify colleges that fit each student and complete the critical milestones of the college admissions process. CollegeTracks also engages parents, advises on college selections decisions, and provides hands-on help with financial aid and scholarship applications to help students avoid onerous debt.
The College Success Program
Our Success Program supports students once they enter college. CollegeTracks coaches help students manage academic, financial, personal and social challenges they may face, and secure ongoing financial aid so they can persist and graduate. Students learn critical college success skills and develop a detailed degree plan. Coaches monitor and support students’ progress.
