Designed as a resource for students as well as educators and guidance counselors, the website connects users to ECMC Foundation’s many college resources, free downloads and additional program information.

• The College Place, which consists of college access centers in Oregon and Virginia, offering free resources for high school students planning for college
• Three curriculum guides, which were designed to help students from middle school through college pursue and achieve their education goals
• ECMC Scholars Program, which identifies students who would benefit from additional mentoring and support to better prepare them for college

Instructors who plan to use the free curriculum materials—Believing the College Dream, Realizing the College Dream and PERSIST—can easily download PDF versions or order binders online. They can also register online for curricula training sessions held across the country for groups of 100 or more.

ECMC provides services in support of higher education by working with schools and lenders to lower student loan default rates, increase college access, and promote financial literacy. Since 2001, ECMC Foundation has helped low-income, first-generation college-bound students further their education goals through innovative outreach programs and partnerships that focus on college access, retention and success. ECMC Foundation has contributed more than $11.2 million in scholarships and programs.
