Take the next
step toward your future!
CollegeASPIRE
is a hands-on series of workshops designed to provide high school and
middle school students with technology-based, engaging activities in a
college-like setting. The main purpose of CollegeASPIRE is to
demonstrate to central Ohio's students and families that college is possible
and accessible; to ensure that everyone is encouraged to pursue a college
education, regardless of their circumstances.
These workshops
are offered free-of-charge, yet in a high-quality environment, taught by
college faculty. COTC has received limited grant funding.
Donations are being accepted, and will help ensure the continuation of these
programs in the future.
