The Academic Achievers Program |
Our Purpose
The purpose of the Academic Achievers Program, which is related to the objectives of the program include: providing support services to low-income, first generation students or individuals with disabilities that will enhance their academic skills, increase their retention and graduation rates, increase enrollment rates in graduate and professional schools, and foster an institutional climate that is supportive of student success.
Our Program
Funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act, the Academic Achievers Program is a Federal TRIO Program which was established here at Saint Augustine's College in 1978. As a Student Support Services program, the goal of the Academic Achievers Program is to increase the college retention and graduation rates of its eligible students from entry into college through graduation. The initial emphasis is on helping the first year and new student make a successful transition from one level of higher education to the next. At the same time opportunities for academic development and assistance with basic college requirements are provided to all eligible students as well.
The Academic Achievers Program offers the following services to its participants: counseling, tutorial assistance, academic advisement, mentoring, cultural enrichment activities, classes, and services. All are provided at no cost, and designed to complement and improve students' academic learning experiences and performances.
Students who have an interest in the program will undergo a screening and selection process which involves meeting certain requirements for program eligibility. Students who meet specific family income levels and are first generation, and/or disabled students may be eligible and enrolled as a participant in the Academic Achievers Program.
