Support First-Gen Students
Your donation changes lives
Find Your FGCB School
For students and their parents or guardians on topics such as the college admissions process, financial aid process, filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and what student support services will be available at colleges.
FGCB helped me and my family understand the college acceptance procedures; a complicated and misunderstood process while everyone around me persuaded me to be "realistic" and apply to other schools. However, through diligence, tenacity and perseverance, FGCB assisted us with attending the school of our choice and for this, we are eternally grateful.
GMGF Field Trip to Towson University
Great Minds Great Futures (GMGF) attended another college tour, this time to Towson University for their Open House!
Students were able to speak with different department personnel. Some of those fields our students were interested in, included: Computer Science, Technology, Health, Education, Music, Theater, and many more. Students were able to experience the Dining Hall on campus for lunch.
They were also able to choose to go to different sessions such as the College of Business & Economics, College of Education, College of Health Professions, and the Honors College. It was an incredible opportunity for our GMGF Students.
Thank you to all who attended!
College Access School Sites
FGCB partners with nine high schools in Prince George’s County to provide targeted, on-site college access support to expand opportunity for students with the greatest financial need. We work directly within these school communities to help students prepare for, enroll in, and complete college. – This language should be anywhere where the Find Your School box is located. I assume changing it once will change it in any footer where it appears.
I wanted to take this time to say THANK YOU for everything you did for me and everything you continue to do for the youth of Laurel and the surrounding area. Your leadership motivated me to be the best person I could be. My hope is that I may influence youth (even if it is just one) as you did with me.
