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.
