Go to High School, Go to College

2023-2024 Registration Form

Background

The "Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College" program, established in 1922, concentrates on the importance of completing secondary and collegiate education as a road to advancement. Statistics prove the value of this extra impetus in making the difference in the success of young African-American men & women, given that school completion is the single best predictor of future economic success. Through the Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College educational initiative, young men & women receive information and learn strategies that facilitate success. Alpha men provide youth participants with excellent role models to emulate.

We are inviting young men and women out for a series of breakout sessions and workshops in order to talk to students about the importance of furthering their education and other current and important topics as well.

"Go to High School, Go to College" is a program which energizes the need for group discussions on being successful and the challenges of attending college. During our sessions, we will focus on:

-The transition from high school to college
-The college application process
-The college admissions process
-ACT/SAT Prep
-The FAFSA process
-Scholarship opportunities, and more.

There will also be a chance for the young men and women to ask questions to guest spealers, who have graduated from college and/or are currently enrolled in college.
