CSO’s College-Bound Coalition is an alliance of colleges, universities, college access programs, counselors and others that share a mission to serve and support the higher education aspirations of today’s first-generation, low-income, and minority college-bound students.

The College-Bound Coalition is a forum for learning, collaboration, and educational advancement. Bringing together institutions, organizations, and individuals, CSO provides the College-Bound Coalition with program services that promote and advance Coalition member efforts, disseminate information on best practices, and build bridges for strategic partnerships and alliances.

Community-based organizations and access programs find a number of benefits from Center for Student Opportunity programs and the College-Bound Coalition.

• Organizations working with youth can utilize the CSO College Center  web site to learn about higher education programs and opportunities for their students and to connect with colleges and universities nationally.
  
  
• If your organization works with youth, but does not have a college preparation program in place, Center for Student Opportunity can provide a volunteer expert counselor through the Counseling Outreach initiative to jumpstart a college preparation program or compliment your existing efforts. 
  
  
• Center for Student Opportunity's Program Development services can help your organization implement or improve a comprehensive college guidance and preparation program.
  
  
• Identify your organization or access program as active in CSO's College-Bound Coalition by displaying Coalition logos on your website and other publications. Download CSO logos here.
