In 2021-22, College Now served 335 students through 55 individual sessions (62% of which included one or more parents) and 8 group presentations. Most students were served in groups, with 60% of freshmen and 40% of seniors participating in classroom workshops on career exploration and financial aid, respectively. A virtual scholarships presentation was also offered, which was attended by 40 families of senior students.
