Academic and Summer Advantage

Participants in Academic Advantage and Summer Advantage will experience an educational journey, focusing on Career Exploration, Success Coaching, and Academic Coursework.

The programs are designed to assist underrepresented students, where they may graduate in four years and envision a path for the future by building a support network of peers and professional staff. Students who are eligible to participate in these programs will receive notification via email when applications are open.

University College and Academic Diversity Outreach staff are very proud of the students who have participated in these programs, as well as the results we have been able to achieve.

Donate

We would not be able to offer these transformational experiences and programming without the help of campus and community partners and especially without the help of donors. When you support students through your donations, you help them make graduation happen. You assist in creating transformational experiences for those who may be the first in their family to attend college, ultimately allowing them to make changes for themselves.
