ONE. MILLION. DOLLARS. (We’ll almost 😂) in grants and scholarships for First Step College Prep kiddos. I gotta be honest, this is pretty surreal. When I started First Step College Prep back in the Spring of 2022, I never thought that I would be at this point so quickly. I am so proud of the students I have worked with! Looking forward to the next million!

First Step College Prep to the moon!

Education. 👏🏻 Opens. 👏🏻 Doors. 👏🏻 Take it from someone who had to learn their way through the entire college process. Higher education is worth it to find something that makes you happy and financially secure. There are tons of ways to pay for it, you just have to be willing to put in the effort. If higher education has lost its shine, I’m breaking out the soap and water to get it where it needs to be.

August is here! The admissions process is not a race, but it’s important for seniors to have their toes on the starting line! First Step is here to help! Great points in this article!

There is a perpetual tension in college admission between outreach to students who might not think a college education is for them and others who are fixated on “getting in” to the most selective school possible.
