Establishing a college admissions counseling program.
Status: Laid Over in Committee Committee on Children and Youth
Sponsored by Public Advocate Jumaane Williams
Introduced: March 19, 2024

The complex process of applying to college may deter some high school juniors and seniors from exploring higher education as an option after high school. This bill would require the Department of Youth and Community Development to establish a program that provides counseling, resources and other support to these prospective college students and their families in applying to college.
