Program areas at College Choice Foundation

Ccf offers year-round act prep for 30-60 high-school students which consist of act test prep companies or tutors providing 40 or more hours of in-depth act test prep, which is so critical in helping students raise their act scores so they are more competitive for scholarships and helps build self-confidence. The goal is for scholars to increase their act test score by 2-4 points on average. We also offer four waivers to that scholars can take the test multiple times for free as well as cover the cost if they want to take the test more than four times. Additionally, we cover the cost of applying to colleges for 30-55 scholars, we assist with the cost to file financial aid forms like the css profile. We cover the cost of essay coaching, professional resume services and college-application workshops and camps.
CARE/COLLEGE For Scholars in college 60-100 students, CCF provides resources not covered by their financial aid applications that promote success in higher education like financing textbooks, lab fees, dorm items, tutoring, airfare to and from school, emergencies, laundry expenses and undergraduate and graduate school enrollment fees.
During the year, CCF takes 30-50 Scholars and families on cross-country college visits which require charter buses, airfare, meals, transportation, and lodging. These visits are imperative, as they allow Scholars to envision what four years on a college campus would look and feel like. We have found, repeatedly, that it is the in-person visit to a campus that is a game-changer. A campus visit allows Scholars and their families to experience traveling to the school, the people who live and work there, and the actual learning environment on campus.
