On Point for College

â??My parents donâ??t drive, so I never would have made it without help.â?? Corneisha graduated from Buffalo State in 2014 with her Masterâ??s in public administration, after earning a bachelorâ??s degree in social work. On Point for College helped with buying books, paying dorm fees, and providing her with school supplies. But perhaps most important - with no car in the family - were the rides to and from college that On Point staff and volunteer drivers provided her over the years. Without that support, she never would have made it through to graduation. Corneisha now works as a family advocate at a nonprofit in Buffalo, NY, where she provides support and guidance to young people in much the same way as On Point provided support and guidance to her.
