At Project SUCCESS we want to prepare students to face their futures with enriched imaginations, increased confidence, positive outlooks, clearly defined goals, and well planned strategies for success. Since many of our students are college bound, planning for the future means researching and selecting a college or university that is a good fit for at least the next two to four years of their lives. Project SUCCESS organizes and hosts state and national college tours to an average of 40 college/university campuses annually.
For some students a campus visit will inform them instantly whether or not that particular campus is right for them. For other students, a campus visit to any college is beneficial to see firsthand what college life is like and to motivate them to start their college search. These are critical opportunities that both inspire and educate young people about their possibilities and opportunities. We encourage students to visit college campuses with their families or to join us for any of the college tours we offer at Project SUCCESS.
