“College Visions (CV) continued to support me since my first day in college. Being part of CV has provided me with a solid platform to build off of by exposing me to opportunities that I would not have access to otherwise. Additionally, I believe the support system that CV represents has been instrumental to my college journey. Knowing that there is a group of people cheering me on keeps me motivated.”

William F., Boston University '18
With College Visions support and all friends of CV, students are defying the odds and rewriting statistics. They succeed because you believe.
