“To assure every qualified Newark High School graduate the opportunity to pursue higher education.”

To fulfill this mission, the following objectives inform A Call to College programs and services: 

• To motivate and encourage students to graduate from high school and to pursue post-secondary education;
• to counsel and advise Newark City School students and their families about sources of financial aid for college;
• to provide Last-Dollar Grants to qualified Newark High School graduates;
• to increase awareness and understanding of the benefits of education beyond high school.

“One of the most important things I did in high school to make college going a reality was becoming active with A Call to College.  They offer so many great resources and the staff is exceptionally helpful.”
