College Support

Empowering Students for Success, Supporting Growth and Achievement

PEP wants every student to make the most of their college experience. We take a hands-on approach by visiting campus, monitoring academic progress, and facilitating workshops to aid in their personal and professional growth.

The college support benefits PEP students receive include:

• Smooth Transition to College:
  • Personalized meetings and workshops to prepare high school graduates for college life.
  • Guidance on adjusting to college life, navigating campus resources, engaging with the community, academic planning, and understanding financial aid.
• Ongoing College Visits & Check-Ins:
  • Regular check-ins via phone, email, or virtual meetings to ensure continued success.
  • Mid-semester on-campus visits for students in the tri-state area.
• Dedicated Academic Coaching:
  • One-on-one coaching for first-year students to develop self-direction and independence.
  • Weekly coaching sessions in the fall and bi-monthly sessions in the winter.

“The PEP Program has been instrumental in helping me achieve both my academic and career goals. Throughout college, I felt fully supported by the staff as I navigated a world that was unfamiliar to both me and my family. With PEP’s guidance, I was able to identify what truly mattered to me and use that insight to shape my career path. I will be forever grateful for the support PEP has provided and continues to offer.”
