WHAT YOU CAN DO

Sixth grade educators can also recommend their best and brightest students to participate in our program the following year, since we accept rising seventh graders. Admission requirements include strong academic performance, family income requirements, and the candidate鈥檚 potential to be the first generation of their family to attend college. Check with your school counselor for more information, or contact us.

If you鈥檙e any other kind of educator, whether you鈥檙e a school teacher, or a college professor, we can still use your help! If you teach elementary, middle or high school, we want your opinions on curriculum. Consider important gaps in knowledge that students might be missing (for instance, financial literacy). As a high school teacher, you can also provide us with the needs, questions, and concerns of your college bound students.

If you鈥檙e a college professor, consider helping us to address the needs, questions, and concerns of potential college bound students. Also, think about ways students could get exposure to new careers in your fields. Consider helping us design workshops, both throughout the school year and summer. Remember, we want to challenge and excite our scholars about your fields, so we need your help!
