College Access Program (CAP)

Attention 8th graders! The College Access Program (CAP) is recruiting students for the 2010-2011 school year at ALHS and TJHS. CAP is a unique program for freshman students who are motivated to succeed in high school and pursue a college education. CAP students participate in a variety of activities throughout all four years of high school including after school College Prep Hour, fun Saturday Sessions twice per semester, specialized assistance in preparation for college, and enriching summer academies. The end result is not only being more prepared for college but also a $1000 scholarship from the Iowa West Foundation (as well as priority consideration for future scholarships)! Only 25 students will be selected to participate -- priority will be given to those students who demonstrate a financial need OR who will be first in their family to attend college. Applications are available in the Kirn counseling office and are due by MARCH 26.

Please contact Stefanie Marshall, CAP Site Coordinator for more information -- 328-6493 ext 144, smarshall@cbcsd.org
