College Knowing & Going
A Helios Education Foundation initiative aimed at closing the achievement gap and improving college completion rates among Arizona students.
The College Knowing & Going initiative is a college and career readiness program supporting 18 school districts throughout Arizona, many of which represent low-income, Latino student populations. In partnership with College Success Arizona, AzCAN and ACT, this initiative provides high school juniors and seniors at 83 schools across Arizona with access to and assistance with essential college-going practices, ultimately aiming to increase the number of students who complete postsecondary education.
College Knowing & Going provides partner school districts with key infrastructure and resources including:
1
ACT administration costs and access for all juniors, making the test available at no cost to these students
2
Assistance with postsecondary planning and college applications
