College Decisions Are Here!

Congratulations to the 26 First Graduate® seniors who are headed off to colleges and universities across the country this fall.

We are so proud of all the hard work these students put in throughout the years to make this moment possible. Their college journey may have just begun, but we already can’t wait to see what great things they’ll do next.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported these students throughout their journey, and a special thanks to our high school team for their late nights and dedicated work advising students throughout the college application and financial aid process!
