For 30 years, the CollegeBound Foundation has worked exclusively in Baltimore City to help public school students complete a college education.
On Thursday, April 5, 2018 at 5 pm at City Hall, the Baltimore City Council's Education and Youth Committee is holding a hearing to launch an "all stakeholders" campaign to seek annual funding to expand CollegeBound's presence to all Baltimore City public high schools.
Please show your support for the CollegeBound expansion by signing this petition. If you, or someone you know, has benefited from the support of a CollegeBound advisor, attended a college tour, or received a CollegeBound scholarship or grant, make sure the City Council hears from you!

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have stepped up to support this expansion. This momentum belongs entirely to the community members who kept this moving forward. It is truly humbling to see so many of you care about the future of our students.

Collegebound has been a tremendous help in my education. As a middle class student, I didn’t qualify for need based aid but I could not afford college. Collegebound was helpful in completing my education and going off to medical school this year!
As an employee of a local non-profit that works with seniors from Baltimore City Public Schools, I regularly see the positive impact of CollegeBound for those that have access to their services, and strongly believe that these benefits should be available to all students in the city.
The CollegeBound Foundation made college possible for me at a time when I knew I couldn't afford it. They supported me and believed in me when I needed it most. Baltimore City students NEED this support system in all schools.
CollegeBound made college possible. Without CollegeBound I wouldn't have known all the available opportunities. CollegeBound not only changed my life but changed the trajectory of my family's life by helping me be a successful first generation college student.
My CollegeBound advisor, Emmanuel Manu, made the college application process simple for all of my classmates and I. When I worked with him, it was the first time I had ever heard of FAFSA and all of the scholarships that helped me get to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). It would have been a struggle trying to figure out everything on my own without the help of CollegeBound.
A college bound foundation scholarship provided me with the opportunity to finish college and start my career. Their services should be available to students theoughout Baltimore City.
The CollegeBound Foundation has given me the opportunity to realize my dreams while staying engaged in my community. Due to their consistent mentoring and support, I am now pursuing my graduate degree and feel adequately prepared to be doing so.

Every Baltimore City school should have access to College Bound, I went to Baltimore City College and didn’t have college bound in my school but luckily my advisors knew about college bound and college Bound is very helpful with teaching leadership skills and helping pay for college, it’s a great tool everyone should have direct access to
