Outreach
At COSTEP, our job is to reach out and help students go to college. This is accomplished by initiating an aggressive outreach program designed to help students prepare and apply for college. We teach students the importance of repaying their college loans and the options available. It is said that knowledge is power and, in this case, knowledge is the key component in getting students to college.
Personnel
COSTEP has an entire department of professionals dedicated to helping students, counselors and financial aid personnel. We publish brochures and collateral material that explain the process and answers literally hundreds of questions. We have invested tens of thousands of dollars in a dynamic, state-of-the-art website, enabling the user to search and retrieve valuable information quickly and efficiently. COSTEP has created booth displays, banners and more with the student in mind. We hold and sponsor seminars at the high school and college levels. We visit malls and other locations, and help students and parents obtain their Personal Identification Number (PIN) and prepare their FAFSA.
