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. |
