Paul Revere Goes to UCSF!

IGTC introduces students to the idea that going to college is a real possibility. IGTC targets elementary school children who attend schools in low-income and/or underserved areas. This year, the I’m Going to College program collaborated with Paul Revere Elementary’s 4th and 5th grade students, all of whom have been participating in a three-month curriculum that included a number of in-class exercises and activities.

On March 9, 2011, IGTC culminated in a field trip to the University of California at San Francisco. During the day-long visit, they were given mock financial aid checks to pay tuition and purchase college materials (messanger bags,notebooks, pencils), attended college classes taught by actual UCSF students, and experienced workshops/demonstrations designed to get them thinking about college.
