Workshop program sponsors, The Willie McGee Foundation and East Bay Consortium believe students should have accessible the opportunities to make college choices based on their merit, qualifications and the college where they can gain entry, not on what their family can afford to pay in tuition. The East Bay organizations have joined together with the Statewide Cash for College efforts to ensure that California high school seniors realize their potential beyond high school.
