Planning and Advising for Transitions to Higher Education, hosted by Boston University

Each Year, BU PATH advisors support college and career exploration for thousands of students in Boston, Malden and Somerville. Through one-to-one advising, college and career planning events, workshops and small group sessions, advisers help high school students explore their options, create a plan and achieve their goals for meaningful opportunities after high school. PATH places well-trained recent college graduates into under-served high schools to serve as near-peer AmeriCorps college and career advisors. PATH advisors work within their school placements to promote a culture of college attendance and to increase educational opportunities for all students. PATH advisors assist students with completing college or trade applications and applying for financial aid; advisers are committed to helping each student find his or her “best-fit” postsecondary option.

PATH Advising Program currently has 23 advisors serving in 26 high schools.
