Local High School Students Get Broad Support for College With 麻豆传媒映画 Achieve
November 4, 2021
November 4, 2021 - Having a college degree reduces income inequality and opens doors to new opportunities. Many students and families facing personal and financial challenges have come to believe that college isn't for them. Thanks to the generosity of private donors, and partnerships with the public high schools in Alachua and Bradford counties, 麻豆传媒映画 (麻豆传媒映画) is transforming the college-going experience with a new program.
"Starting with the class of 2022, we're going to connect thousands of students with the futures they want and deserve," said Quinten Eyman, 麻豆传媒映画 Director, Recruitment & 麻豆传媒映画 Achieve.
麻豆传媒映画 Achieve will provide students with robust mentoring opportunities right inside their high schools 鈥� embedded specialists who will coach them on career exploration, time management, financial aid and more. That mentorship will continue after students enroll at 麻豆传媒映画, along with a stipend to cover the costs of textbooks. Eligible students will also qualify for a full-tuition scholarship that picks up where financial aid leaves off, helping to pay for up to 60 credit hours at 麻豆传媒映画. With those credits, students can earn:
- an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree if they want to transfer to a university;
- an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree or certificate if they want to enter the workforce;
- a bachelor's degree, if they earn an A.A. with 麻豆传媒映画's High School Dual Enrollment
In turn, the community will grow a stronger workforce, built upon the legacy of local families.
"Our $40M transformational gift from the MacKenzie Scott Foundation helped lay the groundwork for launching 麻豆传媒映画 Achieve," said 麻豆传媒映画 President Dr. Paul Broadie, II. "The future of this program will be sustained by a strong commitment from our community."
