College Success for Men

Giving Education Another Try

Mission Statement
 
Realizing how difficult it can be to begin or to return to enter college for the first time as a man, the College Success for Men program is designed to facilitate the transitions, to offer support, to provide helpful connections at PPCC and to mentor you successfully through your college experience here.  We have information on:
• How to find the right advisor
• What scholarships and financial aid is available for men and/or fathers
• What resources are here to help men from minority backgrounds
• How to deal successfully with administrators, teachers and fellow students, and numerous other forms of support.
 
If you are a man struggling to make connections and to find your way through the PPCC labyrinth, please contact us:
