Through 1-on-1 advising and other critical activities, the College Access Program guides 12th graders to successfully navigate the college admission process and enroll in college.

College Access Program

 

By providing 1-on-1 success advising, financial support, and ongoing encouragement, the College Success Program empowers college students to stay on track and earn a degree.

College Success Program

I didn't know the first thing about applying to college or how to decide what was the perfect fit for me. But FGI guided me through the whole process and continued to be there for me through their College Success Program. This is such a great resource for those in need of guidance because you become a member of a family-like community as well.

-Maria Gonzalez, FGI Alumni
