Project Goal

To increase the awareness of college admission requirements and available academic programs. This visit will provide students with an immersive experience of college life, including classroom visits, dorm tours, and hopefully interact with current college students and faculty. This will hopefully eliminate barriers for our students to obtaining college exposure by covering transportation and related costs.
