.College Possible is renewing its collaboration with the NBA Foundation to help remove barriers to college access and entry for young people of color and students from low-income communities. bit.ly/3vXLstD

Our team has been working with students and their parents to help them navigate the changes to FAFSA, as mentioned here by Program Director Elve Mitchell. When costs are manageable, students from low-income backgrounds are more likely to enroll and persist through college.

We're thrilled to announce the continued collaboration between College Possible and NBA Foundation. Together, we're working to remove obstacles to higher education for students of color and students from low-income communities. Go Chicago Bulls! bit.ly/3SpHJMI
