Developing Tomorrows Talent

August, 2009 April, 2011

In 2000, as Chair of the Board of College Now and of the Ohio Board of Regents (OBR) I brought College Now to the attention of the Ohio Board of Regents and the Ohio Department of Education to demonstrate how critical last dollar funding was and how effective the early intervention was in helping to close the Achievement Gap.

There are few things as critically important to our success individually and collectively as college attainment. The reality is that the number of jobs being created in our region annually requiring a postsecondary education grows at a rate that significantly outpaces the number of students graduating from college with the training to fill them. The future health of our community depends on our ability to meet the demand for talent. Over the last 12 months, the urgency of this issue caused the organization to reflect on the impact it has on the community. And so, after careful consideration, we decided to change the name of the organization from Cleveland Scholarship Programs to a name that more accurately reflects the important work that we do College Now Greater Cleveland. Our efforts have received tremendous support from the community from individuals as well as business, education, non-profit and government entities that realize that increasing college attainment isnt just an education issue its an issue that has the potential to affect Greater Clevelands ability to successfully compete in the global economy. The collaborative partnerships weve forged over the last 12 months demonstrate recognition in our community that no one organization can tackle the issue of college attainment on its own. It takes the entire community to get students to and through College Now. We are proud of the work weve done in the last 45 years, and we are excited about the work we will do in the next 45. We thank you for your partnership, and we look forward to continuing to work side by side with you to increase college attainment in Greater Cleveland. Sincerely,

Patrick S. Mullin Chair, Board of Directors

Lee Friedman Chief Executive Officer

My parents support and love helped me to enroll at Ohio State University. College Now Greater Cleveland ensured that I stayed and graduated, and for that I will be forever grateful.

College Nows impact is apparent across the region as well as in the individual life of each and every one of our students.
Transforming Lives
College Now helps students reach their full potential through postsecondary education. Many are from lowincome households and are first-generation college students. Without College Now, many never would attend college and graduate career-ready. We assist over 20,000 students in a school year. $3.5 million amount of scholarships awarded (includes services to scholarship recipients). For a graduating senior, a $500 investment in advising services & financial aid counseling results in $60,000 per student in financial aid over 4 years of college. This year on college campuses, over 10,000 students who received College Now services have benefitted from more than $150 million in financial aid. Our students have a 91% freshman year to sophomore year retention rate, compared to 58% nationally for low-income students. Our students are twice as likely to graduate from college as other low-income college students.

Creating Economic Growth


Our commitment to create a college-going culture is an investment in the economic growth and vitality of Greater Cleveland. We are developing an educated talent pool of future professionals, whose contributions will attract new employers and grow businesses, making our region more competitive in the global economy. By 2018, 57% of Ohios jobs will require postsecondary education. We will not be prepared to meet the need for an educated workforce of that size unless we increase college attainment. An individuals lifetime earnings with a bachelors degree are nearly $1 million more than lifetime earnings with a high school diploma. An increase of 1% in Northeast Ohio college graduates would result in a $2.8 billion economic boost to the region (CEOs for Cities).

Students and Alumni


After college, our alumni go on to have rewarding careers and strengthen our community. College Now students and alumni have become educators, CEOs, social workers, engineers, councilmen, playwrights and entrepreneurs. They make Greater Cleveland a better place to live, work and play.

Getting Ready for College Now


A high school diploma is no longer adequate preparation for a student to be successful in a career and in life. We need to make sure that students are graduating from high school and enrolling in a postsecondary degree program.
In order to succeed in completing their degree, students must be college-ready when they get to campus. But what does it mean to be college-ready? College-ready is the level of preparation a student needs to be able to enroll and succeed in college-level courses without having to take remedial coursework. Making sure that Greater Cleveland students are graduating from high school college-ready is a big part of what we do at College Now. Here are some benchmarks for making sure your student is college-ready: Pre-K 5th Grade Set an expectation that your student will attend college Encourage your student to think about what he/she wants to be when he/she grows up Encourage your student to have fun in school and do his/her best Read to your student and encourage them to read for themselves 6th 8th Grade Ensure your student has a quiet place to study for at least an hour each day Make sure your student gets involved in school and/ or community-based activities Explore different career options with your student Have your student take the Explore Test (ACTs 9th and 10th grade college readiness assessment) 9th Grade Make sure your student is enrolled in college prep classes (English, Algebra, Social Studies, Foreign Language, Science) Encourage your student to develop leadership skills through extra-curricular activities Have your student look into summer enrichment programs Establish a good relationship with the school counselor 10th Grade Continue to do the things listed for 9th grade PLUS Ensure your student registers for and takes the PSAT and the PLAN (ACTs 10th grade college readiness assessment) Encourage your student to participate in career shadowing Confirm that your student has passed all sections of the OGT (Ohio Graduation Test) 11th Grade Continue to do the things listed for 9th and 10th grade PLUS Make sure your student registers for and takes/ retakes the SAT and ACT and sends the results to his/ her top schools Research and visit colleges with your student Make sure your student has met with the College Now advisor in his/her school 12th Grade Continue to do the things listed for 9th 11th grade PLUS Have your student retake the SAT and ACT Continue to research and visit colleges with your student Encourage your student to complete his/her college applications before Thanksgiving Make sure your student is meeting with his/her College Now advisor Complete the FAFSA to ensure your student receives all possible financial aid Research and apply for scholarships

There are many worthwhile charities, but one of the things that separates College Now Greater Cleveland from some of the others is the happy ending. To get a phone call from a student who excitedly tells you he or she is about to graduate is one of the greatest feelings in the world. To see that student come back to Northeast Ohio and help our community grow and prosper is even greater. Knowing that the College Now student is also setting an example for his younger siblings is icing on the cake.

ColleGe NoW: A Resource for the Community


Many adults in our community have never had the opportunity to go to college. To significantly increase college attainment in Greater Cleveland, we need to make sure that these adults who have never gone to collegeand those who have started but never finished complete their degrees.
College Now offers the same college access advising and financial aid counseling that we provide in the schools in its Resource Center in Downtown Cleveland. About 1,500 adult learners, high school students and families rely on the convenience and accessibility of the College Now Resource Center each year. They can work with advisors and access materials and resources to research colleges and scholarship opportunities, explore career paths, and navigate the college access and financial aid processes. College Now is one of the only access organizations in Ohio that focuses on adult success in college. College Nows community outreach is critical to its mission of increasing college attainment in Northeast Ohio. It isnt enough to reach students in schools. We have to reinforce the message throughout the community and provide the necessary resources to students and families throughout the region wherever they may be. College Now is able to be a resource for the community through its Resource Center and its many strategic partnerships. Last year, College Now presented to over 70 groups throughout the community, reaching an additional 2,000 people. A great example of College Nows community outreach is the Cleveland Goes to College Series, a partnership between College Now, the City of Cleveland, the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Cleveland and the Cleveland Public Library. The 4-part workshop series, funded by MyCom, brought college access and financial aid information to students at their local recreation centers and library branches. For more information about the College Now Resource Center and our community outreach initiatives, please visit us in person on the ground floor of 200 Public Square or call (216) 241-5587. The College Now Resource Center is open from 10 a.m. 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appointment on Saturday.

Getting a college education is not only important for me, but it should be for others as well because it helps to ensure a successful future. College has already helped me make my transition into adulthood and it continues to prepare me for all of the ups and downs that life has to bring. I have made friendships that will last a lifetime, involved myself in new activities, and broadened my education. With the help of my College Now/Jimmy Malone scholarship, I have become the first person in my family to attend college, but not just any college, my dream college, The Ohio State University!
