Students are provided with tuition, room, board, and books. Applicants are selected from Rosary College freshmen. It is designed to help students complete high school and to enroll them into postsecondary institutions. The program provides instruction in most major areas of the high school curriculum. There is a residential component during the summer.
Students commute during the academic year to the program.
The program is federal funded and extends equal opportunity. Transportation cost is provided. We have built a program that brings African American and Latino high school sophomores and juniors onto campus and works on developing their science, math, and language skills to better prepare them for college. They receive instruction in chemistry, biology, math, and writing three days a week and go on field trips the other two. The trips are designed to give direct exposure to professionals in the sciences and medicine with a special emphasis on interaction with minorities in those fields.
