The following programs that offer college instruction to pre-college students are only a few of many available in New England. The partnerships selected for demonstration are offered either free or at little cost with transferable college credit. Although some students choose to enroll at the sponsoring college after graduation from school, boosting enrollment is certainly not the aim of the colleges. The partnership involves interaction between students, faculty and administrators at both institutions.
College students work with high school students as role models and tutors.
Faculty from the College discuss the teaching of their subjects with colleagues at the high school and make guest presentations. In addition, the College provides two four-year, full tuition scholarships to graduates of Bristol High School on an annual basis. The purpose is to encourage the best students to continue their education locally. All participants are volunteers and are rewarded only by the satisfaction they experience.
