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.
See the recent story in the Gazette.
2008-2009 Priorities
