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.
