"I don’t think I would have been able to apply to all my colleges, scholarships, and FAFSA in time. I honestly didn’t know half of the things I needed to do, but CAP made it really easy to understand what needed to be done."

"CAP's level of involvement is extremely important for not only the first-generation college student and their family but also helps all students and families navigate the ever-changing college entrance and matriculation landscape. Which not only helps students get into college but also helps them graduate from college."
