Social Media Mogul DJ Khaled, BET Networks and Get Schooled have now teamed up to introduce a new venture that will include kids, college tours, and Snapchat! Yes, Snapchat! Students will now get a chance to indulge into college tours by using Snap. With the support of BET Networks and the help of Get Schooled alumni, Get Schooled will host 12 college tours on its Snapchat account through 2016.
The tours will be apart of Get Schooled’s College Application Campaign which also includes personal statement coaching and text message-based college advice. It will also address the lack of support made available to low-income students.
DJ Khaled spoke on the new venture saying,
“Snapchat removes barriers and gives young people a front row seat at life’s experiences, I am excited that I can advise college students on how to give the best Snapchat college tours so students can share college life with high school kids who are eager to know more about campuses when deciding where to apply. This is a major KEY so the youth can make the right choices and succeed.”
Marie Groark, Executive Director of Get Schooled, states,
“More high school seniors than ever before recognize the importance of getting an education beyond high school, but many are lacking the information and know-how to successfully earn a post-secondary degree. The College Application Campaign is designed to close that gap by offering support and resources we know they need.”
This is truly a dope venture but together by the parties involved. For more information, check out http://www.getschooled.com.
