Barriers to College
Are there barriers to going to college? Of course there are, but all barriers can be overcome.
What you need to do to go to college:
- Make good grades.
- Take as many English, science and math classes as you can.
- Take challenging courses.
- Research admissions criteria including community service requirements.
- Apply for financial aid through FASFA at www.fasfa.com.
Through federal and state grants and loans and work study, along with private scholarships
you can make it through college. Remember a college education is an investment in
yourself. The average college graduate makes an additional $800,000 in a lifetime of work
over a high school graduate. Can you afford college? Oh, yes you can!

- Make a commitment
- Ask for support from your school counselor
- Take the time to plan for the future
