Make Sure Your Students are READY

Talk about access & affordability

Students often ask, “Can I afford this?” The answer is yes. With FAFSA support, financial aid advising, and the California Promise Grant (tuition waived for qualifying students), students have real-world support to begin career education. Counselors can point them to practical support every step of the way.

    Let them know they can take college classes now

    With Dual Enrollment, students can get a head start on career training while still in high school.

    READY community colleges make it easy for students to find, apply to, and begin career education and counselors are an essential part of that journey.
