  • Maintain a 3.0 GPA
  • Complete the 15 college entrance course in high school
  • Participate in the Early Assessment Program and meet placement requirements for college-level math and English either through the EAP, SAT/ACT, AP or by passing the English Placement Test and Entry Level Math exam before the end of my senior year
  • Take the SAT or ACT exam senior year and receive a qualifying score, if GPA falls below 3.0
  • Apply for financial aid during my senior year through FAFSA
  • Graduate and receive a high school diploma
