ATTENTION RECENT HS AND GED GRADS!
Interested in going to college but think you may need some extra help before you start? Then you should consider applying for the College Bridge Program!
What is the College Bridge Program?
District 79 has designed a 13 week course that will help recent high school and GED graduates build skills in reading, writing, and math in order to excel on college entrance exams like the ACT and SAT.

-
received their HS or GED diploma between 2009 and 2010 -
has a strong desire to attend college -
needs help in reading, writing, and/or math -
