Making College Possible for 25 Years
At College Possible Minnesota, we’ve spent 25 years perfecting our approach and adapting to changes along the way. At the forefront of our mission? Students. We help those from low-income backgrounds find the right college, navigate the admissions process, secure financial aid, and stay on track to graduation. Since we were founded in 2000, we’ve provided free coaching to over 17,330 students, and their families.
What makes us different? We personalize the journey. Each student gets paired with a near-peer coach who’s there every step of the way. Whether it’s choosing a college that’s the best fit or helping them overcome challenges once they’re enrolled, we’re here to make sure they succeed.
With the help of our amazing partners at local high schools and colleges, we’re making sure more students in Minnesota not only get into college, but thrive there. Together, we’re creating lasting change—one student at a time.
Student Resources
At College Possible Minnesota, we provide students with the tools, resources, and support they need to navigate the college journey—from application to graduation.
