CCRA update
|
|
|
We are in our second year of the Race to the Top Grant and we’ve had some exciting changes to the program. Last year, there were 17 college and career readiness assistants (CCRAs) in 17 schools; this year we have 47 CCRAs in 36 schools. Each CCRA does something a little different because each school is a little different. Learn more. |

Celebrating our mentors |

Holiday party! During the lead-up to the holiday season, it’s easy to get sidetracked by life's stressors and lose sight of long-term goals.

Read on. |
From the Scholarship Saturday team |
|
Scholarship Saturday is right around the corner! Last year’s event had a record of over 100 students participate. With the success of the 2014 Admissions Workshop Weekend, our goal for this year’s Scholarship Saturday is to double last year’s attendance and have over 200 students come to campus to receive assistance on their scholarships!
