Big dreams and good grades are not enough to get into college. The KnowHow2Go public service campaign's goal is to show 8th-10th grade low-income and first-generation students how to prepare for higher education.

IllinoisCAN is the point of contact for KnowHow2Go in Illinois. In partnership with the Chicago Public Schools and the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, the KnowHow2Go campaign is being localized and leveraged to connect students in Illinois to local resources, such as its college access provider member organizations, offering additional information and hands-on assistance with preparation for college.
