Depends on the program, but usually a cool advisor that supports them through the college going process and opportunities to visit college campuses across the US and its territories. One program offers students 2 months of Dad Jokes and the opportunity to get acclimated to the academic rigor of the university, learn about the physical campus and its resources, and begin building their community of support before their first Fall Semester.
The Access Center
It Depends! Some of our programs require eligibility for FAFSA and to show financial need while in other programs, students are eligible based on the HS they attend. One program just requires a student to be First-Gen and eligible for in-state tuition.
