CYD assists with all the college application costs, including application fees, SAT/ACT fees, and transcript fees. Most CYD students are the first in their families to attend college. Our students look towards us to lead the way as they apply to college and create career goals. We provide the necessary adult mentors and curriculum they need to succeed through this process.
College Dreamers is vital to the success of students. Many CYD students do not have computers at home or access to a credit card or cash to send their transcripts. At times, our students also have to endure the emotional upset in their home when they prepare for college. Change is not always easy on a family as we continue to break through the barriers, emotional and financial when trying to create a better future for our students and their future families.
