COLLEGE ACCESS AMBASSADOR TRAINING (STRIVER PROGRAM): HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARS OF COLOR PARTICIPATE IN WEEKLY, FULL-DAY SATURDAY SESSIONS DURING WHICH THEY COMPLETE TWO COLLEGE-LEVEL COURSES EACH YEAR, IMPROVE THEIR MATHEMATICS SKILLS, AND GAIN WORLD-CLASS KNOWLEDGE ON COLLEGE ADMISSIONS. SCHOLARS ARE INTRODUCED TO TOP REGIONAL LEADERS AND EXPOSED TO EXCEPTIONAL EMPLOYERS IN THE AREA (ALL FIELDS). EACH SCHOLAR MEETS WITH HER/HIS ADVISOR SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE ACADEMIC YEAR TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE COMPETITIVE IN THE COLLEGE ADMISSIONS PROCESS AND THAT THEY ARE ON-TRACK FOR EXCEPTIONAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. FOR 2018-19, THE DE PROGRAM SERVED 80 SCHOLARS AND THE NJ PROGRAM SERVED 35 SCHOLARS. OF THE GRADUATING SENIORS, 100% WERE ACCEPTED INTO AND PLANNED TO ENROLL IN A FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE. 95% WERE ACCEPTED INTO ONE OF THE NATION'S TOP 238 COLLEGES.
