2018 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 50 Years of College and Career Access Innovation Letter from the Board Chair and CEO

n 1967, Lyndon Johnson was our president; Martin Luther King, Jr. was leading a peaceful fight against racial injustice; race riots and footage from Vietnam screamed from living room TV sets, as Isilent or screaming protesters marched in the streets; Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin and the Doors’ music flooded the airwaves; Elvis married Priscilla; Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as our country’s first black justice of the Supreme Court; and Carl Stokes became the first African-American to be elected mayor of a major U.S. city. It was a time when issues of inequality and inequity were playing out across the nation, and, in Cleveland, Ohio, an anonymous donor and Robert Coplan (a Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff LLP law firm founder) took notice. Together, in 1967 they founded Cleveland Scholarship Programs (known today as College Now Greater Cleveland) when they realized that it would take more than just money to help students from low-income backgrounds, especially those who would be first-generation students, enroll in postsecondary programs. It would take creating a culture of “college knowledge” in school buildings and among students and families, which they found was most successfully achieved by physically placing a college and financial aid access advisor within schools. Prior to College Now’s founding, this practice was unheard of, making College Now the first organization of its kind in the country. Over the past 50 years, College Now has grown to be the largest college access organization in Ohio and remains one of the largest in the nation, serving as a leadership model for college access organizations across the country. Since that pivotal year of 1967, our work has expanded in ways in which our founders could not have envisioned. We have broadened our work to include students as young as 11 and adults as old as 64. We have grown to serve students in nearly 185 schools and community locations across Northeast Ohio, reaching 27,000 individuals in the 2016-2017 academic year alone. Since our founding, we have awarded $71 million in scholarships to Greater Cleveland students. But our work isn’t done. Despite College Now’s progress in the last 50 years, issues of inequity and inequality in education continue to plague our country and our community. People born into economic disadvantage still face seemingly insurmountable challenges, such as high tuition costs and low social capital as they plan their postsecondary journeys – and with Ohio’s statewide attainment goal of 65 percent of Ohioans obtaining a degree, certificate or other postsecondary workforce credential by 2025, our services are more vital to our region’s success than ever. This year’s Annual Report features not only successes of the past year, but also it highlights milestones and spotlights alumni from our first 50 years of service. We hope you will be inspired, as we are, by the impact that College Now has had on the lives of so many in our region, as well as by the personal stories of accomplishment achieved by those whom we have served. We look forward to our next 50 years and the success they will bring as we continue to expand and innovate; it is with great excitement and renewed vigor that we move forward. We are grateful for the support you have shown us over these past 50 years and hope you will join us as we embark on our next half-century of college and career access innovation.

Alan S. Kopit Lee A. Friedman Chair, Board of Directors Chief Executive Officer College Now’s mission is to increase postsecondary educational attainment in Greater Cleveland through college and career access advising, financial aid counseling and Mission scholarship and retention services.

8 College Now Greater Cleveland College Now Mentoring Program Emphasizes the Power of Connections

n 2011, College Now recognized that just as advisors provided services for students in Ihigh school, students receiving College Now scholarships often needed services in college. The College Now Mentoring Program began that year with a small cohort of students, pairing scholarship recipients with volunteer mentors from the Greater Cleveland community who provided their mentees with advice, support and guidance. The Mentoring Program now encompasses every traditional student receiving a College Now scholarship; today, there are 1,100 mentor/mentee pairs.

Students in the Mentoring Program are often first-generation college students who do not have family members or friends to turn to with their questions about college life. Mentors help their mentees with all aspects of the college journey, from where to buy books to what office to talk to about financial concerns or roommate problems, and they help them gain the social capital that many of their classmates from more College Now mentee Royale Nicholson at her prosperous families already have.
