Bridging the Gap: Enhancing First-Generation College Students’ Access Through an Early College Application Support Model
Tuesday June 10, 2025 10:45am - 11:45am EDT
This session delves into the Early College Application Support Model developed at Wake Young Men’s Leadership Academy, which was specifically designed to increase First-Generation College Students' (FGCS) completion rates of early college applications.  Participants will gain insight into the structured, hands-on approach that addresses common barriers such as lack of awareness, insufficient guidance, and limited resources.  The model leverages strategic interventions, including one-on-one mentorship and application workshops to create a pathway for success.  Through interactive discussions and practical tools, attendees will leave equipped to implement a tailored support system for FGCS in their own schools or districts.

Leaving and Staying in the Early College: Research and Implications
Tuesday June 10, 2025 1:15pm - 2:15pm EDT
Approximately 13% of NC’s early college students leave in 9th or 10th grade (ranging from 3% to 38%).  The Early College Research Center looked at the impact of the early college on students who leave in 9th or 10th grade and students who stay through 11th grade.  Our research suggests negative impacts for early college leavers and positive impacts for stayers —particularly for low-income students and students who are members of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.  This session will look at the research; participants will discuss the implications for student selection and strategies for keeping students in the early college.
