We will also be providing career prep and laptops/wifi hotspots as needed. We will be meeting every Monday from June 17 to August 5 for 2 hours.

Este es un programa gratuito y virtual de siete semanas que se enfoca en el enriquecimiento de los estudiantes de bajos ingresos que se identifican como primera generación y que están aplicando para ingresar a la universidad. Esta ayuda se dará a través de talleres y tutoría individual. También proporcionaremos preparación profesional y cualquier otra tecnología que sea necesaria (puntos de acceso WiFi, computadoras portátiles, etc.). Nos reuniremos virtualmente todos los lunes por 120 minutos cada día empezando el 17 de junio hasta el 5 de agosto. Los estudiantes se irán con una declaración personal completa, conocimiento sobre cómo crear una lista de universidades y una comprensión de cómo pagar por la universidad a través de ayuda financiera y becas.
