College Possible Wisconsin

The 2nd Annual Corps Collab was a beautiful success! It was so powerful to see several organizations sharing this space to connect our staff and AmeriCorps members. Major shout-out to the planning committee, including College Possible Wisconsin 's own Ashley Miner, M.S., who made her vision a reality beginning with last year's event. I'm so excited to see it grow and thrive!

We were so grateful for the opportunity to visit University Wisconsin-Parkside with College Possible students this past December! From getting to experience the vibrant student life to touring the university's dynamic learning spaces-- we loved exploring UW-Parkside's beautiful campus!

This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on the strength we find when we come together for a common purpose. Dr. King famously asserted, “We cannot walk alone.” At College Possible Wisconsin, we have seen firsthand the power of shared action. We cannot walk alone. We need each other. And College Possible students need the collective impact we bring– together– now more than ever. Through January 20th, we are reaching out to our community to support our Direct Student Aid Fund, which provides one-time grants to students in urgent need of assistance. Whether it’s a broken-down car that threatens a student’s ability to commute to class or an unexpected medical bill that derails their studies, your gift can help ensure these obstacles don’t stop students from continuing their education.
