Are you looking for an alternative to traditional high school and an opportunity to attend college? The 通往大学的大门 scholarship may be an option for you. The 通往大学的大门 program at 十大彩票平台 helps students who have experienced challenges in traditional high school for various reasons. If you had to leave school before finishing, 正在上公立学校, 自主学习, or a school other than public school, or for whatever reason, the 通往大学的大门 program is an alternative option!

Through the 通往大学的大门 scholarship, students can complete their high school graduation requirements at our college-based program while earning college credits. 学生s can earn their high school diploma and college credits simultaneously. Some also continue to finish certificate programs and associate degrees and transfer to four-year colleges.

通往大学的大门 is a scholarship opportunity offered by the Springfield Public Schools. The scholarship covers the costs of tuition, books, and fees. In addition, students have an academic counselor dedicated to their success. The 学术 counselor guides students through the college experience, helps them navigate academic challenges, teaches organization and time management techniques, and provides referrals for college and community resources to increase student success.

Linda Fernandez in 通往大学的大门 Cap and SashWith the help of my 通往大学的大门 family, I was able to finish high school from an early college program. Their never-ending 支持 and determination made it a little easier for me to get up every morning and never give up. I graduated high school with a GPA of 3.3 and I am now grateful to say that I’m a first generation college student! 琳达·费尔南德斯 2018年大学毕业生入门
