Admission Possible Students Spend a Day at Travelers
Travelers Insurance teamed up with Admission Possible to host an After Admissions event for Admission Possible students. It was a great opportunity for students to learn interview skills and see how a college degree can translate into a career. The day was a success and students are excited for more After Admission events and internship opportunities!
Travelers also made a generous donation to support programming in Milwaukee. The grant was awarded by the Travelers Foundation, the charitable arm of Travelers or funded by Travelers, provided Admission Possible with an award of $10,000. For more photos and the news release click here.

Admission Possible History
The organization began as a pilot program in the Twin Cities of Minnesota with 35 high school juniors in 2000 and has grown rapidly while achieving an impressive 98 percent college acceptance rate for participating students. The organization now operates in two geographic sites: the Greater Twin Cities and Greater Milwaukee metro areas, serving more than 1,540 low-income high school juniors and seniors in more than 20 partner high schools.
Admission Possible - Greater Milwaukee began operation in the fall of 2008 and currently serves 140 high school juniors and seniors at Milwaukee School of Languages, Saint Joan Antida High School, South Division High School, and W.E.B Du Bois High School. With community support in place, Admission Possible-Greater Milwaukee intends to grow to serve 400 students a year by 2012. We are currently in conversation with potential school partners and are working collaboratively with the other college preparatory programs in the Greater Milwaukee area to ensure support for the maximum number of low-income students possible each year.
