An Intervention for College Attendance Program
funded by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education

Overview:  Low-income, first-generation high school students participate in weekly academic-year tutoring to address study habits and grade improvement.  A five-week summer academic enrichment program will be held for at least 90 students to increase skills in core subject areas and grade point averages.  High school credit is awarded for successful participation.  High school students participate in career exploration and a five-week job placement period.  All participants in the Career Development Program will complete the summer internship, file a FAFSA, and apply for at least one outside scholarship.
