Education Takes You There is an aged-based early awareness campaign that promotes postsecondary education access and success and encourages parental involvement. Written notices are sent to the parents to coincide with publication mailings to their child. Parents are invited to join their children at any of our events.
5th/6th Grade: A “Dare to Dream” theme encourages young students to think about careers they might like to pursue. Activities at this age present the benefits of higher education in terms of expanded choices and options, and allow students to visualize themselves going to college.
7th/8th Grade: The “Chart Your Course” campaign reinforces the dependency link between higher education and different career paths. Activities for this group should assist students as they plan their high school courses and provide them tools that equip them for postsecondary success.
11th/12th Grade: The Going to College in Alaska magazine introduces students to the various forms of postsecondary education (academic degrees, career skills training, and vocational education), and promotes postsecondary education opportunities right here in Alaska. School financial aid or college prep nights provide further assistance to these students as they plan and prepare for postsecondary education.
