[YL] First-Time college seekers

[Tracy Brower]

The National College Access Network (NCAN) has an online directory of
college access providers by state.

 

You can view it at www.collegeaccess.org/accessprogramdirectory/

 

Also check with your local universities to see if the offer TRIO/Upward
Bound or Educational Talent Search programs. They all serve
first-generation students.

The University of South Carolina has a program called TWIN which does
exactly that.  I do not know if it is specific to USC.  I will try to
find out and let you know.

	I co-developed an out-of-school-time youth filmmaking program
called Reel Vision in Boston. Reel Vision is an out-of-school-time
filmmaking project in which urban youth earn college credit (at Lesley
University and Art Institute of Boston) and are empowered with technical
and media literacy skills necessary to advocate for social change. All
Reel Vision participants are potential first time college seekers. As a
result they are asking me a lot of questions about college, which is
great but I need an organization that specifically can help first
generation college seekers with applications, essay writing,
how-to-apply for scholarships, and help them pay the college application
fee ($50.00-150.00 per college). 
	
	Any thoughts or suggestions?
	
	Thanks!
