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 Now Directors
