Students must show potential to attend a post-secondary institution as well as show interest in the program services offered to accomplish their educational goals. Students must commit to attending/participating in at least two activities per year.

Students will need to show need and interest in the program services. Program staff will use student grades and answers provided in an intake interview to determine whether the student will be a good fit for the program. We’re requiring students to have a minimum of a 2.0 GPA to be eligible. Students will be expected to remain active and participate in program activities as well as maintain positive academic standing while enrolled in the program.
