More than just a checklist.
Destination College is a grass-roots non-profit run by two Summit moms/grandmas who believe in the power of education—and in what happens when a student has someone in their corner.

Our Mission
Help first-generation students navigate the college process with clarity, encouragement, and practical tools.
Our Approach
Break big tasks into small steps, explain what the forms are really asking, and keep students moving forward.
Our Values
Respect, privacy, and trust. Students deserve support that protects their information and honors their goals.
A network that feels like family
The college process can be overwhelming: forms, deadlines, unfamiliar terms, and a hundred decisions that feel like they all matter at once.
When students connect with Destination College, they’re not just getting a checklist. They’re joining a network where people remember your story, celebrate your wins, and help you keep going when the process gets heavy.
"We know that a better path forward isn’t only about paperwork. It’s about confidence. It’s about guidance. It’s about having someone say, 'You belong here—and we’ll help you take the next step.'"
