Meet 2017 College Grad: Kamah Saygbe
Many first-generation, low-income students don’t have the support or access to the resources they need to persist through college. They aren’t as fortunate as some to have parents or familial role models who understand and can navigate through the college admissions process. This is where College Visions (CV) steps in. We guide students not only through the college admissions process, but through to college graduation. And because of your support, 65% of students earn their bachelor’s degree within 6 years–more than 3 times the national average for first-generation, low-income students. Our alumni community has grown to 250 students and Kamah is one of them! Read her interview below:
