“If I hadn’t joined CB, I don’t think I would have started or completed college. The application and financial aid process was a lot and it can be difficult to navigate. I received support with my NCLEX (nursing board) exam fees and the prep class fee that was added on at UMSL as a requirement last minute.”
Christion, CB Class of 2016
“There was never a time when I couldn’t reach out to my College Bound coaches – whether it was about academics or family. I didn’t have a father and I could reach out to my coaches for anything I needed. College Bound gave me the push I needed.”
Jeremiah, CB Class of 2011
“Coming to CB, you get a personalized coach. At first I didn’t know if I would click with someone like her, but she’s actually pretty dope. Claire gets it – she gets me.”
Bryona, CB@STLCC student
“The people here are so welcoming and understanding. They are so helpful. I came sophomore year and I was afraid to talk to anyone. I didn’t know if I could trust the people here. Now I know that I can put 100% of my trust in them because I know they will be there when I need them most. I feel safe here. I love College Bound.”
Alex, CB Class of 2020
“College Bound has helped me to think broadly, outside the box, deep into my future. I have learned so much and will take what I have learned with me to inspire others.”
Kiara, CB Class of 2020
