DOES MY CHILD QUALIFY?

We accept applications from students residing within these geographic locations only (updated 2021):

We have set out the following student profile guidelines; however, if there is a student who does not have one of these components, but displays great leadership and civic responsibility, we will absolutely consider him/her. 

• The program starts in tenth grade and follows the student through graduation, so we are looking for students to apply at the end of their ninth grade year with a GPA around 3.5, and/or a PSAT score of about 800-1000. ELL students are encouraged to apply.

• These are guidelines and not strict restrictions. Our income guideline for defining "low-income" generally follow the PBC housing guidelines, but, again, we may make considerations for students whose families fall slightly above the income categories as we realize this measure can affect families much differently depending on a variety of circumstances.  

We accept students with interests as diverse in nature as their backgrounds. We are looking for the students who display leadership, who really deserve this help, and who will use it to give back to their communities. Students whose parents are not able to help guide them through the college selection and application process, but who have the potential to go far, are the ones best suited for our program.

We are looking for students who want to do good and go far!
