Graduating Seniors--Neat Way to Earn Money this Summer
PACES PROGRAM GIVES FIRST-TIME COLLEGE STUDENTS
HEAD START TO FALL SEMESTER, CASH
SAN ANTONIO—Palo Alto College is launching a new summer program aimed at helping first-time college students get started on the right foot while putting some extra cash in their pockets.
The Palo Alto College Early Start (PACES) Program is intended for first-time college students who are on the threshold of being able to enroll in college-level math courses. Students selected for the program will attend two classes, along with receiving mentoring, tutoring and support services designed to assist them into their transition into college.
Tuition, textbooks and project supplies are free for participants. Students will also be given $400 upon completion of the program with a grade of a “C” or better and a 90 percent class attendance rate.
New high school graduates who scored at pre-college math levels on college placement tests and have finished high school or a high school equivalency program but who have never been to college are eligible for this program. Other requirements include being between the ages of 18-22, having an admissions application on file at PAC and have a FAFSA 2008-2009 application on file by June 4.
The program runs from June 8 to July 9 at the PAC campus, Mondays through Thursdays from 8:15 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. The deadline to register for the program is June 4. Students will be selected through a lottery-like process to participate in the PACES Program.
For orientation times and dates or more information on the program, please call Claudia Castillo at (210) 486-3300.
