Early College Awareness
The Early College Awareness (ECA) Program was established to provide Harvard Clubs, Shared Interest Groups (SIGs), reunion classes, and other alumni organizations with a comprehensive way to help increase college awareness and preparedness among middle school and high school students.
Focusing on schools and communities that are underserved, the ECA program provides hope to those who don’t think college is an option. Through inspiration, information, and guidance, alumni volunteers can help students and their families learn realistic approaches to higher education, find sources of support, and prepare.
