Increasing Parents’ Awareness On College Readiness, Jennifer Diaz

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

Attaining higher education can lead to more opportunities that result in a more stable life. However, individuals who are minorities or first generation may not understand the processes to attend college and may not be aware of the assistance available to make it possible to attend. In order to address the issue of the lack of knowledge about the college system, I will be delivering 2 day 40 minute information session regarding college to parents of the after school program LIFE, who serves children from K-8th grade in Salinas, California.
