WELCOME MESSAGE

First, we want to congratulate you on your academic success leading to graduation and
preparing for #adulting. We know college may be the last thing you're worried about,
but you have to put in as much time and effort as you do planning your prom-posal.
Have you considered college? Will you be a first-generation college student? Do you
have concerns about how to apply? Are you worried about the financial burden? Are
you aware of resources available to you? The college application process (CAP) can
be overwhelming, but this program will provide a valuable resource: the #CAP S M
Toolkit!

The #CAPSM Toolkit is a resource for students like yourself to implement strategies as
you prepare to further your education by attending a college or university. The toolkit
includes information on scholarships, financial aid "To-Dos", SAT and ACT resources,
essay and application tips, and a college admission checklist. As you research
colleges and universities, we want to encourage you to apply to Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Not only do HBCUs have a rich history, they also
prepare students professionally and personally throughout their academic career to be
ready for the adult world.

You will attend events and participate in activities hosted by members of Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. The toolkit is essential as it will guide you through the
admissions process and hopefully help you get accepted into a college or university!
To get it, though, you must apply for enrollment into the program.

Good luck and we look forward to welcoming you as a #CAPSM scholar!
