Who We Serve
First-Generation Students
On Point for College opens doors for first-generation students by providing access to higher education, campus coaching, and the guidance to become trailblazers in their families.
Traditional and Non-Traditional Students
We support students continuing their education right after high school, as well as adult learners who may have never attended college, or who started and stopped but are now ready to return.
Students In Need of Guidance
Some students simply need extra direction or encouragement. Our team is here to help you navigate each step of your educational journey with confidence.
Students with a Range of Educational Goals
Whether you’re pursuing a two- or four-year degree, professional certification, or other postsecondary training, On Point provides the guidance and resources to help you succeed.
Students Facing Other Barriers
We work with students who may encounter additional challenges, including those with refugee or immigrant status, a history of court involvement, dependent children, housing insecurity, experience in the foster care system, or without parental support.
