High School students often receive enticing brochures from colleges advertising opportunities far from home. College tours and campus visits can present travel expenses that some families cannot afford. Reimbursement funds are still available from New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) via their College Access Challenge Grant Program.  Qualified non-profit organizations can apply for pre-approval to receive funds to help reimburse costs for travel and related tour expenses. To learn more about the this HESC grant program and take advantage of this opportunity, visit their website here.
