Dear Colleague:
I am pleased to announce the launch of an exciting, innovative new resource www.college.gov. College.gov was designed by students for students and features first person accounts of students who overcome challenges to going to college such as a peer pressure, lack of family support, and financial barriers. It provides relevant, comprehensive information about why to go, how to go, and how to pay for college or other postsecondary education programs. Young people who may not have considered higher education a viable option will be engaged , informed, and inspired to create their own “roadmap” to college.
We want to make sure that all the students are aware of college.gov, and we need your help to make this happen.
To support this site, you can:
- Establish a link to colloge.gov on your website (preferably your homepage)
- Notify your staff, membership or constituents about college.gov through email
- Contact Department of Education staff at college@ed.gov if you need more information or have speaking or exhibiting opportunities with your organization at which we may introduce colloge.gov
Please join with us in ensuring all students learn about this resource. |
