What is S.C.O.P.E.?
S.C.O.P.E. (Summer College/Occupational Preview Experience) is a pre-college enrichment program to prepare high school juniors for college. Students participate in activities such as ACT Preparatory Classes and a FOCUS Career Inventory throughout the school year. S.C.O.P.E. participants also attend a one-week summer residential component that allows students to learn about college admissions and financial aid, observe college classes, visit college campuses and participate in job shadowing.
S.C.O.P.E. was initiated in 1984 to provide students with programs that support college decision-making and career exploration. Funded by the Alice and Edward Powers Trust, S.C.O.P.E. is committed to strengthening college entrance potential.
