Foundation assumes funding of CollegeTracks
B-CC HS Educational Foundation has made a commitment on behalf of the B-CC Community to add CollegeTracks to the array of student support programs it funds. As of 2008-2009, the Foundation will take over the fundraising responsibility for CollegeTracks, the highly successful college access program at B-CC for students who may be the first in their families to attend college and who need extra help in navigating the complex college admissions and financial aid process.
