The Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) in partnership with College Now Greater Cleveland is organizing a series of summer college tours for middle and high school students. These tours are designed to provide students with firsthand exposure to college environments and to foster an interest in pursuing higher education.
The initiative aims to demystify the college experience for students and their families. Participants will have the opportunity to explore various college campuses, learn about the academic programs offered, and gain insights into the application process. A key focus of these tours is to help students understand the complexities of financial aid and scholarships, as well as to familiarize them with the day-to-day life on a college campus.
One of the scheduled tours includes a visit to the University of Akron. This visit, like others in the series, is intended to encourage students to consider their post-secondary education options and to provide them with the information needed to make informed decisions about future college applications. The program seeks to broaden students’ horizons by showcasing the diverse opportunities available within higher education.
The collaboration between CMSD and College Now Greater Cleveland highlights a commitment to preparing students for future academic success. By offering these exploratory tours during the summer break, the organizations aim to make college exploration accessible and engaging for students across the district.
