"College Bound has helped me reach my last semester of undergrad! Luckily, due to the NBJT STEM Scholarship, money (outside of paying for school) was not really an issue. This is so important for college students because we have better things to worry about like coursework, internships, and extracurriculars. Without CB and their support, I don't know if I would be as successful as I am today!"

" I’m sure as anyone who has been to college knows that college comes with a bunch of hardship, but with my family, friends, and people like Mr. Ward and my CB family pushing me forward i know there is nothing that I can't accomplish."
