College and Career Access

The College and Career Access Team (CCA) at PrepNext provides services that allow for DC Prep alums in 11th and 12th grade to explore and ultimately create a best-fit plan for their post-secondary endeavors to be implemented upon graduation. With a focus on college and career access, the CCA team’s programming includes college application support, financial aid assistance, and career exploration.

The CCA team recognizes that junior and senior years of high school are a busy time for most students. We are committed to ensuring that students have the support they need to minimize stress through ongoing assistance from a PrepNext counselor. The CCA team is committed to meeting students where they are, no matter when they decide to seek out our services.
