Summer Program: Running Start

Running Start is a summer program for high school graduates without plans to attend college—many without plans at all—that can literally change the course of their lives. Program coordinators identify and recruit seniors whose grades and test scores reflect their ability to succeed, but are unaware of the benefit of higher education. This six-week program offers college orientation, academic counseling and guidance through the registration and financial aid application processes. At the conclusion of the program, 94% of participants enroll as full-time students for the fall semester.
