PAWS began in 2007 as a pilot elementary-age college awareness program.

Educate. Encourage. Support. Inspire.

Our passion is...

Mentoring to children to achieve their dreams by becoming better students, friends, and citizens
so that they will lead the future of our communities, our country, and the world.

Our mission is to...

Increase awareness about postsecondary education opportunities for ongoing planning and goal setting.
Improve the understanding of the importance of postsecondary education for elementary students.
Help elementary children learn how to achieve their dreams of a postsecondary education.  

UTC students provide mentoring services to students including homework assistance, interactive panel discussions, guidance on how to be successful in school, and ecourage awareness of the possibility of a postsecondary experience.
