Earlier this week, students from Caroline and Kent counties participated in MBRT's College Bootcamp, hosted in partnership with Washington College Admissions.

Over the course of two half‑day sessions, students learned about the college application process, met with counselors, created important application accounts, and gained valuable insight into the steps ahead as they prepare for senior year.

One student's feedback captured the impact of the experience:

💬 "I was a little overwhelmed, but feel I have all the information and resources to overcome being overwhelmed."

Helping students feel informed, supported, and confident about their future is at the heart of this program. Moments like these inspire us to continue making college an option for all.

Thank you to Washington College and everyone who helped make this experience possible.
