College Bound targets underserved 8th–12th grade public school students who have the capacity yet lack the necessary supports to attend college. Students meet weekly with mentors to work on math, SAT prep, and the college admissions process. CB also sponsors career and college fairs, takes students on college tours, and annually offers over $250,000 in scholarships. For the last decade, 100% of seniors have graduated high school and been accepted into college. Its Virtual Mentoring Program further helps students navigate college life once they're there. With CB's support, 94% of students return to college for their second year, far beyond the national average for this key indicator of success. With seven locations throughout the city and additional enrichment opportunities for students during the academic year, College Bound is making college completion a reality for DC’s young people. What a difference that makes.
