High School Partnership

High School Partnership Scholarship Program

We are excited to offer eligible students an early college experience through taking college-level courses on our campus via the High School Partnership (HSP) scholarship program. This program is available to high school juniors and seniors who wish to

• study subjects not offered in high school,
• earn college credits, broaden their education,
• explore career options or build on their skills.

Students selected to participate in the HSP program will be funded for one college course for the Spring and/or Fall semester on a space available basis.

The College will pay the costs of tuition for eligible high school students participating in the program and will waive all fees. Book/supplies and transportation are the student’s responsibility. Eligible High School students may enroll two weeks prior to the start of classes on a space available basis.
