What PECS Has to Offer
Essay Writing WorkshopsDo you need one-on-one help editing essays? Do you want to read successful essays that have helped recent students get accepted to Johns Hopkins, Harvard, William and Mary, or even VCU itself? Fill out the Interested Student Form and we'll have a VCU student help proofread your essays and help you with the essay-writing process.

Peer Mentor PairingWe'll provide a one-on-one college application mentorship pairing from a local VCU student. With a variety of interests and backgrounds, there's a college student mentor for everyone! We will help match you with a student who is pursuing the major/track you're interested in. You won't hurt our feelings if you want to change mentors!
|
College Application GuidanceWe're committed to providing a holistic mentorship regimen for students, just as many college admissions review applications holistically. That said, we'll also host workshops and provide our tips tackling letters of recommendation, testing, financial aid, discovering the right schools for you, and more!

We've Won the National ZipCar Contest! See our film on our new page.
With the $7,000 we won, we hope to provide mini-scholarships to the RPS students we work with to help relieve some of the financial burden from applying to schools and paying for books upon entering college.
Education is our passport to the future,
for tomorrow belongs only to the people who prepare for it today.
