Onward is designed for those who are the first in their immediate family to attend college. who have been laid off or aspire to a better career, are single parents who wish to provide better for their families, who have a physical or learning disability, or who earned a GED..

Information sessions are set for Thursday April 17 from 2-4 p.m. and Thursday May 15 from 2-4 p.m. or 5-7 p.m. Those who attend will tour the East Annex facility, meet the staff and hear from some current students about their experiences with Onward.
