College Prep

COLLEGE PREP

Beginning in 8th Grade, students in the 15-LOVE program are eligible to participate in the College Prep & Leadership Program. The group meets every Friday night and students also have one-on-one sessions to make sure they are on track to meet their goals. Students work through a five-year curriculum that ends with the college application, financial aid and decision process. Furthermore, 15-LOVE offers graduates the opportunity to apply for the Denise McCoy Scholarship, which offers them financial assistance for up to four years of higher education.
