I think that the CAFA initiative is important because it helps young students prepare for their future.  It is helping us learn more about what we will have to do in the future to get into colleges.  What I have learned from the CAFA program is that there are many degrees that people can receive. In addition, I learned about some schools that are focused in the major that I want to be in. - Victor F.

In the CAFA program I learned that everybody has a chance of getting into college, there is financial aid and there are some Colleges that help those kind of people.  - Edward A.

 

I think the College Access for All Program is a very strong program because it helps more students create a goal to attend college.  During the trips we learn about different school programs and school layout.   During the lessons we learn about the different degrees offered at the schools- Versai R.

I think it’s a good idea to begin the program with 7th graders.  Understanding what a major and minor is good to know at an early age.  Also, knowing what the requirements will be at an early age helps us plan better.  For example, know how much it costs encourages us to begin thinking of saving. - Aaliyah L.

I think it's a great idea to start learning about the college application process in 7th grade because this is the time when we begin to plan for high school.  This is a great advantage to know what the requirements are for college, so that you can plan to attend the right high school for you.  The CAFA program has taught me that it is never too early to pick up book or search online for different colleges.  - Josirys G.

I think that the CAFA program is important because it gives you a sense of what you will like to do when you are older.  Honestly, although I enjoy the trips I think that this program would make more sense to me when I’m in 10th or 11th grade.  - Amelie H.
