Announcements
The 2009-2010 Edition of Step-Up to College will be available on October 15.
Philadelphia Futures is proud to announce the release of the 20th edition of Step Up to College: Philadelphia’s Guide to the College Preparation, Application, Admissions & Financial Aid Processes. This comprehensive, 52-page publication helps Philadelphia students and their families understand the importance of college; select the college that is right for them; navigate the daunting college application and financial aid processes; and successfully make the transition to college life. The Guide, which is written especially for Philadelphia students, is the complete resource for students who are contemplating college and has become a great Philadelphia tradition.
The 2009-2010 edition of the Guide includes a new section on Financial Literacy designed to provide students with the information necessary to develop the money management skills critical to making smart financial decisions in high school and college.
We are also delighted to announce that this edition of the Guide has “gone green.” While it is critically important that the Guide continue to be available to students and their families in hard copy, we have taken every step possible to reduce its footprint on our natural resources. The Guide was printed in Philadelphia with 100% wind power using soy-based inks on 50% recycled, FSC certified paper.
