First LookConnecting middle school kids to a future in college
![Page 2: VC Power Point (PRINT GOOGLE VERSION)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ef76f01a28aba27e8b4597/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Why Middle School?Research shows that college readiness
should begin in the middle school, given the long-term course
taking and postsecondary planning
that college and workplace readiness
requires. (ACT Policy Report)
65% of U.S. jobs (almost 2/3) will require some form of postsecondary education by 2020.
(Lumina Foundation)
Even as early as age 11, thinking about
college as affordable with need-based
financial aid enhances school-focused goals.
(Psychological Science, 20(4), 414-418, Destin, M., & Oyserman, D.,
2009)
