| NEW! “Big dreams and good grades aren't enough to get into college. There are actual steps you need to take.” Studies from the U.S. Department of Education show that 8 out of 10 students expect to earn a college degree or higher, but few students understand what they need to do to be fully prepared for college. In response, a coalition of Connecticut organizations, led by the Departments of Education and Higher Education, have joined forces with the Lumina Foundation for Education, the Ad Council and the American Council of Education to support KnowHow2Go, a multimedia campaign that provides students with four basic steps they can use to actively guide their preparation for postsecondary education. Geared towards students in middle school and higher, KnowHow2GoConnecticut helps students plan successfully for a college education. |
