The program provides college preparation for students interested in attending four and two-year colleges or pursuing a post-secondary path that includes a high-quality certification or technical career. Students in the program receive individual coaching and assistance with ACT/SAT preparation, essay and personal statement writing, resume building, scholarship applications, FAFSA applications, and college tours. Additionally, they will develop their leadership skills, and participate in community service opportunities, while their families learn more about college selection and career readiness.

Students take on leadership roles through the existing 10 high school clubs in Sarasota and Manatee providing peer support and promoting a culture of post-secondary education.

We are looking for rising high school Juniors and Seniors who are committed and will prioritize this program among other extracurricular activities. Applications will be reviewed holistically, while grades and scores are important, students are strongly encouraged to spend sufficient time on the essay section to reflect their uniqueness and to demonstrate why they believe they are a strong candidate for the program.
