Dear Washington Passport Network (WPN) member,
College Success Foundation and Treehouse, in partnership with the Washington Passport Network, are excited to announce that Make It Happen! is now Way To Go:
Way To Go helps students learn about the Passport to Careers (PTC) scholarship, plan their post-secondary path, and connect with supportive adults who can open doors of possibility and provide ongoing support.
New name and brand: The Way To Go name was developed with Treehouse, which has dramatically increased high school graduation rates for youth in foster care. The name evokes optimism and highlights the importance of students setting their own course for post-secondary success. Students' paths are not always linear and come with highs and lows. We see this as normal, healthy progression, and believe that with the right support and information, our scholars have the potential to break stereotypes and oppressive cycles.
1-day format in three regions: To improve accessibility and increase the number of students who attend, we are conducting three 1-day events:

*         June 18 at Eastern Washington University (Cheney)

*         June 25 at Saint Martin's University (Lacey)

*         June 27 at Everett Community College (Everett)
Transportation will be provided to all locations. The event is free to attend.
Focus on high school juniors and seniors: Rising high school juniors and seniors who meet the following criteria are eligible to attend:

*         Experienced state, tribal or Federal foster care after the age of 13; or

*         Experienced unaccompanied youth homelessness at some point during high school.
If you have questions about whether a student is eligible to attend we encourage you to contact us.
Tribal foster youth, unaccompanied refugee minors and unaccompanied homeless youth: These students are newly eligible for PTC. We need your help in getting the word out to them about Way To Go so we can empower them to take full advantage of financial aid and support programs available through PTC.
Event agenda details, a frequently asked questions document, information about transportation support and attendee registration will be available on the Washington Passport Network website (www.washingtonpassportnetwork.org<http://www.washingtonpassportnetwork.org>) on Tuesday, April 9.
For now, if you have any questions feel free to reach out to event lead Donna Quach: passport at collegesuccessfoundation.org<mailto:passport at collegesuccessfoundation.org>
