Florida State University received a $1.3 million federal grant to improve high school graduation and college enrollment rates for students at Title I schools in the Florida Panhandle including the Franklin County school in Eastpoint.
FSU’s Center for Academic Retention and Enhancement and FSU Panama City will launch a pre-college program with funding from the five-year Talent Search grant sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education.
The project will help support ongoing efforts to achieve educational equity for 500 students in Bay, Franklin, Holmes and Leon counties.
The project will offer in-school support, after-school mentoring and tutoring, college coaching, ACT and SAT prep services, and college tours.
Students will be invited to the FSU Tallahassee and Panama City campuses once a month to participate in a coding camp in the fall and a leadership program in the spring.
The project will also include a series of residential and day camps for six weeks in the summer.
To be eligible for enrollment, students must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, a potential first-generation college student or a low-income individual with a need for academic support.
