• COLLEGE POSSIBLE IS LOOKING FOR CANDIDATES FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR!!!

    College Possible is a nonprofit college access and success organization founded in St. Paul in 2000. We help those from low-income backgrounds find the right college, navigate the admissions process, secure financial aid, and stay on track to graduation for free. Since our founding, we’ve provided free coaching to over 17,000 students and their families.

     

    Each student is paired with a coach who’s there every step of the way. While students are expected to meet with their coach at least once every month, students can schedule as many additional meetings as they need. High school coaches support students through ACT prep, researching colleges, financial aid, and more. We also offer free college tours and fee waivers.

     

    College Possible also supports its students until they graduate from college. They will be provided with a Success Coach, who will help them adjust to higher education. This means a minimum of six years of support, depending on the path each student takes.

     

    What we offer:

    • Individualized coaching, from junior year to college graduation
    • Monthly after-school sessions with a larger cohort of students
    • ACT & Common App fee waivers
    • Career interest panels
    • Free campus tours with food and transportation provided
    • An end-of-year event, where all College Possible students attend and participate in different games and activities
    • And more!

    Eligibility requirements:

    • Minimum 2.0 GPA
    • Demonstrated financial need
    • 11th or 12th grade student

    Champlin Park has two College Possible coaches, located in the College & Career Center. For more information, send your student to the CCC (in office Mon-Thurs), look through the College Possible website, or email rnelson@collegepossible.org.
