College Connection /High Schools we Visit

College Connection

In partnership with local independent school districts, charter schools, and private schools the Alamo Colleges District College Connection program is designed to help high school seniors transition into one of the Alamo Colleges. Throughout the students' senior year (August to June), representatives from the Alamo Colleges District provide on-site college enrollment services at participating high schools.

What are the advantages of participating in the College Connection Program?

Assistance with FREE application

Students will participate in a hands-on workshop to complete their ApplyTexas application to any of the five Alamo Colleges (Northeast Lakeview College, Northwest Vista College, Palo Alto College, St. Philip's College, or San Antonio College).

Assistance and guidance completing the Test Prep online modules

Test Prep modules are required for all First-Time-In-College Students (FTIC) at all five Alamo Colleges. Our representatives will visit participating high schools to ensure completion of this process.

College Readiness Assessment Information

Students will receive information in regards to the Texas Success Initiative exam. Testing costs and testing locations provided.

Assistance with Financial Aid Information and Processing

Information on FAFSA Saturday workshops on our campus provided along with Alamo Scholarship resources.

Save money

Students are able to complete transferable courses at a lower cost at any of the five Alamo Colleges, prior to or during enrollment at a four-year institution.

Keep all options open

Although students may plan to attend a four-year institution, having other options is important. By participating in the College Connection program, students are able to plan accordingly. If something changes and students are unable to start at a desired four-year institution, they can still be on track and enrollment ready for any Alamo College by participating in the College Connection program.
