Keep the Momentum Going After High School!

After College Now, students can continue their college journey with programs that extend financial and academic support:

York College ACE Program

ACE (Accelerate, Complete, Engage) helps students stay on track to graduate on time with added financial and academic support, including:

  • Dedicated advising and career guidance
  • Funding for winter and summer courses
  • Tuition gap assistance
  • Textbook support
  • Free MetroCard/OMNY transportation

York College S.E.E.K. Program

SEEK (Search for Education, Elevation, & Knowledge) provides:

  • Financial assistance
  • Academic support
  • Personalized counseling

SEEK is designed to expand access and support student success from day one through graduation.

With College Now, your child can start college early for free, and with SEEK or ACE, continue with ongoing financial and academic support all the way to graduation.

Note: Students participate in either SEEK or ACE (not both), and eligibility varies by major.
