Student-Centered Empowerment

Through encouraging sense of purpose, passion for learning, development of specific study skills, and cultivating independent, self-directed lifelong learners, CCEF’s programs, events, and initiatives empower students to take charge of their futures by preparing them for college AND life.

Additionally, The Choose College Educational Foundation conducts mass grass-roots outreach efforts to inform communities on the importance of going to college, and works with community organizations and partners to connect students with the resources they need to succeed.

It's About HAVING CHOICES

Choose College provides college going information, resources, and motivational events showing students they have options arrayed around them to move forward with their continuing education.

CCEF facilitates informational assemblies for schools and youth serving entities; informational workshops; culturally-relevant test preparation courses; and professional development for educators and community leaders on integrating a college-going culture.

It's Never Too Early OR Too Late!

By beginning to focus on college early, students develop a roadmap for the future and significantly increase their chances of getting into the college of their choice and securing the financial aid that will help make that dream affordable.  The later a student waits to begin the college preparation process, the more important it is that he or she gets help – CCEF encourages students at all levels to learn about college and higher education through grass roots outreach to underserved communities, community informational events, and marketing advertisements in mass media outlets.
