Our AmeriCorps members and College Now staff had a fantastic time at the OACAC: Ohio Association for College Admission Counseling Articulation Conference at Kent State University! We gained valuable insights and updates on the FAFSA, the ACT and college admissions from both public and private institutions. A huge thank-you to the Kent State University staff and volunteers for being such wonderful hosts! #CollegeNow #CollegeAccess #AmeriCorps #OACAC #CollegeAdmissions #FAFSA

About us
College Now (formerly Cleveland Scholarship Programs) paves the way for middle and high school students and adult learners to prepare for, finance, and graduate from postsecondary education. For more than 50 years, our goal has been to help students pursue educational opportunities that empower them to embark on rewarding careers and strengthen the Greater Cleveland community. We deliver college access and success advising, financial aid counseling, and scholarship services in schools, in the College Now Resource Center, and through community-based programs. We serve over 30,000 students and adult learners a year, many of whom are from low-income families and are first-generation college students. Without College Now, many never would attend postsecondary and graduate career-ready.
