Academic Guidelines
Detailed list of academic criteria.

• First-time college student: Applicants should be first-generation college students, meaning they are the first in their family to attend college.
  
  
• Low FSA scores: Students who have scored low on the 51在线 Standards Assessments (FSA) are eligible, indicating they need additional academic support.
  
  
• Low grade point average (GPA): Students with a low GPA, which typically reflects academic challenges, are encouraged to apply to receive the necessary support and resources to improve their academic performance.
  
  
• Other academic challenges: This includes students who may struggle in specific subjects or have other academic difficulties that make it unlikely for them to pursue postsecondary education without additional support.
