It's a 24-7 program for us. We're always calling or e-mailing students to keep in touch. We continue to talk to them about college admissions, what classes to take, how to find financial aid, and similar issues. |
One of the reasons SCOPE reaches students so early is to get to them before they have to take the SAT, and it is early enough that they can recover academically or still take the courses they would need to take to get accepted into college. |
The topics they chose for their research projects are typically something they've found lacking in their own schools. They feel that there is now a responsibility on them to become potential agents for social change. |
