🎓 What an incredible night at our College Readiness Workshop! 🎓
Last night, we welcomed a packed room of students and parents who came together to learn, connect, and take the next steps toward their college journeys!
We know the college admissions process can feel overwhelming, especially for first-generation college students and their families. That’s why our ThePlace2B program wanted to create a space where students could find guidance, ask questions, and feel more confident navigating the path to higher education.
Our amazing presenters shared valuable information on: - How to apply for FAFSA - Navigating the college application process - Preparing for and finding scholarship opportunities - Connecting with college alumni and local professionals to ask questions and gain insight from their experiences.
And, of course, we couldn’t forget the delicious food provided by COYA'S CAFE!
A HUGE thank-you to everyone who attended and helped make this event a success! We are especially grateful to our wonderful speakers, Daisy Ramirez from the Quad Cities Community Foundation, Ashley Allen, Leslie Moreno, and our two student guest speakers from Augustana College - Illinois for sharing their knowledge, experience, and encouragement with our students and families. 🧡
