Dear Students:
Since 1984,
the College Now Program has offered freshman-level college credit and/or
college preparatory courses tuition free to over 60,000 New York City public
high school students. As the directors of the program, we know how valuable
this experience can be for participants. College Now alumni have
had far greater success in college than non-participating students. They have
entered higher education with fewer remedial needs, have earned higher grade
point averages and are more likely to graduate. Due to such high levels of achievement,
the College Now Program was recognized as a model of educational excellence
by the U.S. Department of Education in 1992 and replicated throughout New York
City public high schools by the City University of New York in 1999. Given the
success of our graduates, we look forward to your participation in the College
Now Program. It will go a long way towards helping you make a smooth transition
fom high school to college.
College
