Am I College Bound?

The transition to college is a challenge for all students. College Bound offers students with disabilities the opportunity to learn what it takes to succeed in college. During our three day program, you will get the chance to spend time with current college student leaders with disabilities and participate in informative sessions and fun activities while staying on the Virginia Tech campus. Rising high school juniors, seniors and college freshman are invited to attend our program.
