Lincoln College Center Opens Part-Time

YPIE opened its third College Center on May 4th at Lincoln High School. Thanks to a generous grant from Entergy, YPIE is fulfilling its vision of opening a full-service College Center at every Yonkers high school and helping students navigate the road to college. YPIE’s College Centers offer a range of college planning seminars and services, including helping students prepare college applications, resumes, and essays and assisting in the complex task of completing financial aid forms and securing scholarships. Centers at Roosevelt and Riverside High Schools opened earlier this school year, and the hope is to secure funding for three more centers.

The center at Lincoln, run by YPIE College Advisor Kira Lamb, is currently open part-time and will operate on a full-time basis beginning in the Fall. Activities in May and June will focus on getting students acquainted with the center and providing support to the remaining seniors who have yet to determine their post-graduation plans.

Stay tuned for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for September 22, 2009.
