The Governor's Early College Scholars Program

 

The Governor's Early College Scholars Program is intended to encourage eligible high school students to complete requirements for a high school diploma and concurrently earn at least 15 hours of transferable credits toward a college degree.  This program can potentially result in a more productive senior year and reduce the amount of college tuition for families.  Students earning a college degree in seven semesters instead of eight can save an average of $ 5, 000 in college expenses.  Early College Scholars participants should:

 

1.      have a "B" average or better

2.      be pursuing an advanced diploma

3.      be completing or have completed AP or IB courses that they will earn at least 15 transferable college credits

 

The student, parent, and school principal and counselor must sign the agreement.  It may be signed at any time, from 9 to 12th grade.  Please see your school counselor if you are interested.
