Registration for FREE Tutoring &
SAT/ACT Prep Programs for
Delco HS Students Begins This Week
At The College Access Center-Widener
University Campus
Parents and students from Delaware
County are invited to register for a host of FREE after school College
Preparatory programs this week at the
College Access Center located at 400 E. 21st Street ( on the corners
of 21st Street and Providence Avenue) on campus of Widener University in
Chester, PA.. Now entering its fourth
year, the College Access Center has proven itself to be one of the most
valuable places to go for information about college admissions, financial aid,
scholarships, and learning how prepare for life after high school.
The College Access Center is the
result of a unique partnership involving the Presidents of six local Colleges
and Universities (Widener University, Swarthmore College, Delaware County
Community College, Cheyney University, Neumann University, and Penn State
University-Brandywine Campus).
This collaborative effort led to the
creation of the Chester Higher Education Council, a nonprofit organization
established to address the educational needs of county residents. Their first major initiative was the College
Access Center of Delaware County, located at 400 E. 21st Street, a
building owned by Widener University.
The Center provides FREE College
Preparatory services to high school students including a weekly SAT/ACT Class
conducted by a Kaplan-Trained Facilitator, 1-on-1 Counseling, Homework Help,
Tutoring, along with monthly workshops on admissions, financial aid, and
scholarships.
Students interested in an ongoing
and intensive pre-college experience can also sign up for the Center’s
signature outreach initiative called the Road
Map to College, which is a special program aimed at 9-12th
graders who meet twice per week throughout the year to learn how “navigate”
their way to college. Participants also
hear about careers from invited guests lecturers, take trips to colleges, and
are provided regular mentorship from current college students.
To register your child for these
FREE services, please call (610) 499-1391 as classes will fill up very fast.

Access Center programs and services is available online by logging onto www.collegeaccessdelco.org.
