Mission ECAP's mission is to inspire and empower middle school students to plan for and attain a college degree. Most of the students who attend our seminars will become the first in their family to go to college. We recognize that these students and their parents do not have access to all the resources, information, and tools required for entry into the world of higher education. ECAP seeks to provide the information and help build the skill set these students need to better understand how to apply to and pay for college as well as how to succeed once on campus. Simply put, ECAP strives to be that crucial first step on the road to a college degree. While the knowledge that we provide is valuable, equally important are the self-confidence and inspiration that come from gaining that knowledge. We strive to help families understand that a college degree is not only within their reach but also a means of assuring that their children will be invaluable members of the higher education communities that we know many of them will join in future.

Never too early to get kids thinking about college." -- a parent "The presentation was very helpful to my child. We should have more meetings and gatherings like this.
