ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Us
We make college possible for first-generation and low-income students.
For nearly 40 years, ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder’s precollege outreach programs have academically and socially prepared ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ middle and high school students for college. Through partnerships around the state and beyond, these programs provide enrichment activities for students and their families. A key audience for these efforts are first-generation students who live in geographically diverse communities.
Our programs also provide parents/guardians with the tools and strategies to support their children as they complete their high school careers and pursue postsecondary educational opportunities. Through this engagement, the programs seek to have a broader educational impact on the immediate and extended family.
