About CollegeBound Journey's Pre-College Program & Enrichment Search

Preparing for College

FAQs

All of the pre-college and cultural programs within our platform are located within the United States.  Some are offered directly through colleges, others through specific Tribes, and still others through specific Native programs.

We update  information throughout the year as new information becomes available.  We review every pre-college and summer opportunity in our database by March of each year.

These experiences are continuously adjusting their programming based on student needs and available funding.  CollegeBound Journey strives to provide up-to-date information.  Please refer to our Disclaimer page.  We invite program notifications and edits on our Contact page.

Many of the programs and opportunities rely heavily on external funding.  If the funding is no longer available, the program usually concludes.  If this is the case, we will remove the opportunity from the database.

High school age group: 14  – 18 year-olds.
