Improving Local Student College Readiness
The MetLife Foundation has awarded Raritan Valley Community College with a $100,000 grant to support a program targeted at preparing high school students to enter community college. The MetLife grant has been awarded for the ASPIRE program, a college-readiness program developed by RVCC in partnership with Franklin High School. The four-year ASPIRE program helps high school students improve their college-readiness skills through workshops, academic enrichment activities, academic advising, career assessment and mentoring.
