CSO College Center is an initiative of Center for Student Opportunity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to promote college access and opportunity among first-generation and historically underserved student populations.

Center for Student Opportunity was founded by a group of concerned parents, admissions professionals, and nonprofit practitioners who sought to fill the need for greater college counseling and preparation resources for first-generation and underserved college-bound students. Studying the national landscape of college access to this student population, the principals discovered that while there are numerous local and sub-regional programs that effectively serve these populations, few if any of these organizations have the resources to expand their reach and fewer still, have the network to access many of the colleges and universities that have targeted these student populations for admission.

With this in mind, the principals founded Center for Student Opportunity with the express purpose of growing opportunities for college-bound first-generation and underserved students as a conduit in linking qualified students with leading colleges and universities.
