About this Item

Early and ongoing intervention is known to be a critical element in increasing the likelihood that students in underserved communities will attend college and then thrive there and beyond. Crucially, intervention is most effective when it starts at an early age-planting the seeds in young minds that college is a realistic option for them-and continues from elementary school through high school. The Leadership U. program provides grade-appropriate preparation scaffolded through four curriculum manuals, each tailored to a specific stage of learning, and includes a supplement to guide high school students through the college application process. The Leadership Program's High School Supplement: Your Passport to College: Practical Support for the College Application Process supports students through the nuts and bolts of the college application process. Building on our proven-effective approach to enrichment and social and emotional learning, this supplement uses interactive activities to examine the why, where, and how of applying to college, identify pertinent requirements and deadlines, further develop problem-solving skills, and help students envision a realistic college experience tailored to their needs, skill level, and interests. With these factors in mind, students will be guided through the process of completing college applications and FAFSA financial aid forms and writing their application essays with confidence and clarity.

Synopsis

Early and ongoing intervention is known to be a critical element in increasing the likelihood that students in underserved communities will attend college and then thrive there and beyond. Crucially, intervention is most effective when it starts at an early age—planting the seeds in young minds that college is a realistic option for them—and continues from elementary school through high school. 

The Leadership U. program provides grade-appropriate preparation scaffolded through four curriculum manuals, each tailored to a specific stage of learning, and includes a supplement to guide high school students through the college application process.

With these factors in mind, students will be guided through the process of completing college applications and FAFSA financial aid forms and writing their application essays with confidence and clarity.
