It is an exciting new resource that gives first person accounts of students who overcame challenges to going to college such as peer pressure, lack of family support, and financial barriers. Ir provides relevent, comprehensive information about why to go, how to go, and how to pay for college or other postsecondary education programs.

It will help you create your own "roadmap" to college and beyond!
