PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Welcome Everyone,
It is time to get started to apply to colleges, for scholarship, and prepare to do well on the SAT/ACT exam.
I wanted to restate our goals, priorities, and desired outcomes we discussed during our kick-off meeting in March. – You and youth who are sophomores, juniors or seniors (In Seattle Area High Schools) with a DRIVE TO ATTEND COLLEGE are invited to attend the Princeton Review SAT/ACT Test Preparation; gain knowledge on essay and resume writing for college and hear from working professionals.
We, The Youth College and Career Project (YCCP), received a grant from the Seattle Neighborhood Matching Fund (NMF) to pay for forty (40) students to take the test(s). The cost : FREE, FREE, FREE. (Current fee for those who have to pay: $600+)
Big Picture Goals:
- Complete College Application:
- Apply for Scholarship

Priorities:
- Students provide completed information upon request.
