Want to Know More About Preparing for College?

Last fall, the Ohio College Access Network (OCAN) launched a statewide campaign called KnowHow2GOOhio. Because all the access programs in Summit County are working collaboratively, the Summit Education Initiative submitted and subsequently received one of 10 KnowHow2GOOhio grants.

The KnowHow2GO campaign is targeting students in grades 8 through 10 in order to raise their awareness about the steps needed to prepare for and go to college. Big dreams and good grades aren’t enough to get into college. There are actual steps you need to take. Don’t wait. The Summit Education Initiative can help. Click on the link below to learn more.
