College Day 2018: A Huge Success!

Watch Katherine Smith Elementary celebrate College Day 2016.

The 8th annual College Day was held on Friday, October 19, 2018. It was an amazing day of college-focused activities for elementary, middle, and high school students in Santa Clara County.

Our goal is to create a college-going culture among the students, and to inspire and support first-generation students in their pursuit of a college education. Check out our College Day Facebook page to see photos and videos of some of the fun activities at local schools during College Day 2018!

“We inspire students to believe that they can go to college, that they can Reach Higher, that Si Se Puede!”

FREE Cash for College Campaign!

The mission of the FREE Cash for College Campaign is to help low-income and first-generation college-goers complete the application process so they can access financial aid for education and career/technical training beyond high school.

Students and families can attend FREE Cash for College workshops throughout San Jose/Silicon Valley to learn about financial aid options and get help completing their financial aid applications. Bilingual assistance is available in Spanish and Vietnamese. For more information about workshop dates, visit:

College Day Coalition's Statement on DACA
Although the announcement from the White House to rescind DACA was expected, it does not make the news any less devastating. The College Day Coalition stands with our community in supporting those who are directly and indirectly affected by this immoral decision to roll back protections promised by our government to over 800,000 young DACAmented Americans. DACA recipients are our students, colleagues, family members, and loved ones, and we must all stand together in protecting them. We call on educators throughout Santa Clara County to become UndocuAllies as we all do everything in our power to protect DREAMERS! For more information on the rights of DACAmented Americans, visit:
