Thank you for your interest in CollegeTracks. CollegeTracks is a free program currently serving juniors and seniors at five MCPS high schools. We help students apply to college or technical school and find enough financial aid to attend. Specifically, we provide the most value to students whose parents/guardians did not graduate from a 4-year college in the U.S., students who are eligible for FARMS (free/reduced lunch), students with an under-served identity, and students who do not have family support at home. We assist all students regardless of citizenship status.
We do not offer a high school class, but meet with students mainly during lunch and after school in our office. We help eligible students with career exploration, college research, college essays, ACT test prep, financial aid, scholarships, the college applications themselves, and whatever general information is relevant to the college application process. Our goal is to make a complex process easier to understand and complete. We also provide coaches to help some students get through college. CollegeTracks Access Program Website
