PECS guides nearby Richmond high schoolers through the college application process. We hold workshops where high schoolers pair one-on-one with VCU students to mainly write admissions essays, but also discuss college choices, navigate college portals and financial aid, and serve as an approachable peer. Email PECSatVCU@gmail.com with any questions and visit us at PECSatVCU.com.

Flex your PECS for college success!
