About Us
We make college possible for first-generation and low-income students.
For nearly 40 years, Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder’s precollege outreach programs have academically and socially prepared Colorado middle and high school students for college. Through partnerships around the state and beyond, these programs provide enrichment activities for students and their families. A key audience for these efforts are first-generation students who live in geographically diverse communities.
Our programs also provide parents/guardians with the tools and strategies to support their children as they complete their high school careers and pursue postsecondary educational opportunities. Through this engagement, the programs seek to have a broader educational impact on the immediate and extended family.
