College & Career
Readiness Pathway
Your future does not stop at graduation. Neither does our commitment to you. Our College & Career Readiness Pathway is designed to help youth and emerging adults build financial knowledge, access educational opportunities, prepare for meaningful careers, and move toward lasting independence.
Learn before you borrow. Plan before you enroll.
Keep moving forward after graduation.

Six Foundations for Your Future
Curriculum in development · Individual portal learning experiences are planned.
Money Skills
Learn budgeting, banking, saving, everyday spending decisions, and protecting your money.
College & Careers
Explore HBCUs, other colleges, technical education, apprenticeships, credentials, and career pathways.
Financial Aid & Scholarships
Understand FAFSA, grants, scholarships, college costs, financial-aid offers, deadlines, and annual renewal.
Financial Independence
Build knowledge about credit, borrowing, employment income, housing expenses, financial safety, and long-term planning.
Next Steps & Mentorship
Develop practical next steps for education, employment, and adult life with ongoing support and guidance.
Financial Education That Continues
Financial decisions do not end when a student graduates. Our pathway is designed to support participants as they become adults, pursue higher education, enter the workforce, manage new responsibilities, and return for guidance when needed.
Planned resources include financial-aid and scholarship education, practical money skills, career exploration, mentoring, and online learning opportunities. Financial-aid decisions happen every year, not once: the pathway will help families understand aid offers, evaluate scholarship sources, and prepare questions for qualified advisors.

Support beyond a single milestone.
Explore in high school. Prepare for college, training or work. Stay connected through the first years after graduation. Return for guidance as your career and responsibilities change.
HBCU Twin Cities 2027 is one opportunity to explore institutions, careers and alumni relationships—not the whole program. Pathway services and referrals depend on eligibility and program capacity.
Credible relationships, trauma-aware support, practical pathways and community-rooted action guide the work. Financial education is not individualized legal, tax, investment or financial-aid advice.
Start Building Your Pathway
Whether you are preparing for college, exploring career training, entering the workforce, or returning to education, your next opportunity matters.
