College Access and FAFSA Support Launches for CT Students


The College Access Collaborative of Connecticut 

The College Access Collaborative of Connecticut (CAC) is a community based educational consulting organization focused on improving college access, financial aid completion, and postsecondary readiness for first generation, multilingual, adult, and historically underserved students across Connecticut. CAC partners with high schools, adult education programs, nonprofits, and community organizations to provide hands on support with FAFSA completion, AACTUS guidance for undocumented and mixed status students, college applications, scholarship navigation, and enrollment planning. Services are delivered through workshops, small group sessions, and individualized advising, particularly during peak college and financial aid seasons when schools are often stretched beyond capacity. CAC’s work is designed to strengthen and extend existing counseling and outreach efforts, not replace them. What makes CAC distinct is its relationship centered and culturally responsive approach. Programming is offered in English, Haitian Creole, and Spanish, ensuring families who are often excluded from the college process due to language or system barriers can fully participate and make informed decisions. CAC emphasizes clarity over jargon, follow through over one time events, and outcome driven support that helps organizations track progress in FAFSA completion, college applications, and enrollment. Founded by educator and college access professional Looney Chery; CAC was created after years of working directly with students and families navigating complex college and financial aid systems with limited individualized support. CAC exists to close these gaps by combining professional expertise, lived experience, and strong community relationships. By meeting students and families where they are, The College Access Collaborative helps turn college from a confusing process into a realistic and achievable pathway.

“The John Fogerty Tribute Project” is not a cookie cutter tribute act giving you the same songs and robot style performances. Rather, their live, interactive, heart throbbing performances are at the core of a real live John Fogerty concert. An energetic tribute that will bring the house down with all the songs you would expect to hear from both John Fogerty’s Creedence Clearwater Revival years and his solo career. A fitting tribute to the man and his music while maintaining the individual musicianship of each band member and their talent. Via their media outlets, you can follow the developments, hard work and “fan-extras” no other tribute band provides. 
The band is also in contact with current members of John Fogerty’s touring band while seeking their advice and critique on the project. “The John Fogerty Project” leaves their audiences with a memorable uplifting rock and roll experience while paying tribute this classic and timeless music everyone knows and loves leaving the fans wanting to do it all again. This tribute band is an absolute “must see”.A truly unique experience on the tribute band scene.
