Every student who graduates from Montgomery County Public Schools deserves the opportunity to go to college or technical school, regardless of his or her family income, race, or whether his or her relatives attended college. CollegeTracks changes the lives of individuals, their families, and their communities by giving low-income, first-generation-to college students the chance to go to college and succeed there. Since 2003, CollegeTracks has helped thousands of students find a path to success. CollegeTracks' Mission - To improve college access and success for the rapidly growing number of Montgomery County's students who are most at risk of not attending college – low- to moderate-income, first-generation-to-college, minority, and immigrant youth.
