The New England ABE-to-College Transition Project can help. The project prepares GED and Adult/External Diploma Program graduates to enter and succeed in college. To date, the project has served 267 adults. Of entrants, 61% completed the 12-14 week transition course. Of completers, nearly three-fourths entered a postsecondary institution. The project grew from five to 21 programs this fall with a 2002 grant of $805,420 from the Nellie Mae Education Foundation which funded the effort last year. Programs offer instruction in reading, writing, math, and computers as well as education counseling. Peer mentoring is provided once learners are in college. Mentors help newcomers get acclimated to college culture and provide emotional support and guidance. Contact skallenbach@worlded.org
