Future Forward CT

A college degree can be a game changer – it often leads to career advancement, economic opportunity, and upward mobility. But the high financial barriers and lack of flexibility within the existing system presents challenges to college access for many students. Enter Future Forward CT, an innovative new college support program designed for students who are looking for an accelerated, affordable, and achievable degree program. Future Forward CT is a community-based program that provides access to degree programs AND high touch coaching, career support, and wraparound services (such as  technology, childcare, and guidance through the financial aid process) to ensure students have what they need to succeed and earn their degree. We aim to triple the state's average college graduation rate, cut college debt in half, and provide direct and indirect supports to ensure our graduates get jobs that pay a living wage in CT.
