College Bound prepares children to be academically grounded and sets them on a path to higher education.
YPC offers a range of programs and activities, including academic support and college application support.
Academic Support
From daily check-ins to one-on-one tutoring, choristers receive the assistance they need to stay ahead, excel in school and graduate from high school on time, ready for what lies ahead. YPC staff members work on an individual basis with choristers to identify their needs.
College Application Support
Choristers are given the tools they need to navigate the entire college application process. Example offerings include:
- SAT/ACT preparatory courses
- Financial aid workshops
- Master Classes
College Scholarships
Since 2015, YPC has awarded over $1,000,000 in college scholarships to outstanding alumni. Generous support from the Charlotte Daniels Harris Fund of the New York Community Trust and the YPC Board of Trustees has allowed us to sponsor outstanding alumni as they pursue post-secondary opportunities.
