College Access Program Print E-mail

 

AIM Institute partners with Iowa West Foundation (IWF) and the Council Bluffs Community School District to help students not only succeed in high school but to visualize a bright future beyond graduation. Through IWF funding, AIM provides technical support and management of the development, implementation, and evaluation of the College Access Program (CAP) at Abraham Lincoln High School and Thomas Jefferson High School.

 

AIM's CAP programs are geared towards students who have shown the potential to improve their school performance and become the first in their families to attend college. Each year 25 students will be identified in eighth grade to participate in CAP throughout their high school years. This timing helps ensure that CAP students make a successful transition into high school and start taking the right sequence of classes needed to meet college-admissions requirements.
