We are excited to announce the launch of the Consortium's website, at www.collegeopportunity.org. Visit our website for information on our activities, plans for 2025, and to access our library of resources for students, educators and stakeholders.

The Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship is a highly selective scholarship for the nation’s top community college students seeking to complete their bachelor’s degrees at four-year colleges or universities. The award, which is last dollar funding after all institutional aid, can provide as much as $55,000 per year to complete a bachelor’s degree at any accredited undergraduate institution. Checkout the FAQs for information on how to apply, where to get help with the application, and what the scholarship offers. There's also a program webinar here. The deadline to apply is January 9th.

Is your organization interested in having a Consortium member college present at an upcoming workshop, college fair, or community event? Are you looking to have an admissions expert meet with students, educators and/or families to discuss selective college admissions? The Consortium can help! Email Beth Breger to invite a member college to a virtual event or in-person event.

We wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy holiday season. Thank you for joining us in our efforts to increase access to selective colleges for first-generation, lower-income students. We look forward to sharing more resources in 2025, including fly-in opportunities, summer programs, professional development offerings, and other information.
