Helping students is our passion

Every year many academically qualified students who should attend college do not. Two of the biggest obstacles are the complexities of the financial aid process and the high cost of college. In response to this need, A CALL TO COLLEGE was established in 1991 for Newark High School Students by NHS alumni with the support of the community and the Newark City School system. 

A CALL TO COLLEGE works closely with the NHS guidance department to remove these obstacles in three ways:

  • By motivating students to work hard in school and pursue a college education;
  • By guiding students and parents through the financial aid process in order to obtain maximum aid;
  • And by awarding Last-Dollar Grants. 

Students qualify for Last-Dollar Grants after families have paid their share according to federal guidelines and all other financial aid has been utilized. These grants help close the gap between the cost of college and the family’s ability to pay.
