regional colleges and universities in the area. In addition to
snacks, prizes, and music, college scholarships will be

with the Navient Community Fund, working together to provide
support for college planning and awareness to help our members and
their families navigate the college application process," said John

Delaware. "In conjunction with the Navient Community Fund and
Holmes, Smith Consulting Services, we are excited to host another
College Planning Conference for our members and their
families.”

conference plays a vital role in providing the necessary resources

Navient research shows that young people who have clear career
goals and caring mentors are much more likely to graduate from
college. Research also shows that when young adults complete
postsecondary education, they have distinctly stronger financial
health, regardless of environmental factors that could have
prohibited their success. Boys & Girls Clubs of America and
Navient are partnering to further empower young people to explore
career interests and plan for college through new digital programs
available to all Boys & Girls Clubs across the country.
