Did you know students can graduate from high school with both their diploma and an Associate of Arts degree?

College Now is a partnership between Harper College and Districts 211, 214, and 220 that allows motivated, academically prepared students to begin taking college courses during their junior year and attend Harper full-time as seniors - all while remaining connected to their high school activities.

For a total cost of $1,000 across four semesters, students can complete two years of college, save thousands in future tuition costs, and build the confidence, independence, and skills needed for college success.

Applications are open September 15 through October 1 for current sophomores. Learn more about eligibility, the program schedule, and how to apply here: https://www.harpercollege.edu/collegenow/
