IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to the impact of COVID-19 on schools, colleges and the postal service. COLLEGE BOUND   suspended its printed/snail mailed version with the April 2020 issue.

Fortunately, CB has been online for over a decade and the vast majority of our subscribers and their educational community access it each month at www.collegeboundnews.com. But just so you know, you are permitted to print the issue yourselves each month. (We suggest you print it on a color printer and staple for the same classic CB look!)

Nonetheless, CB has been with you for 37 years and we pledge to continue to bring you the most up-to-date information on the college admissions and financial aid scene, even in these troubling times.  Thank you, as always, for your support. Stay safe.   The Editors.
