CUScholars: Preparing our students for more choices

The Champaign Urbana Schools Foundation currently runs its own program in cooperation with local public school districts 116 and 4 along with many other community partners to clear the way for student success in life post high school.  As a comprehensive approach, kids agree to take more rigorous courses, serve as community volunteers, maintain a grade point average, maintain a high attendance rate as well as complete other commitments.  Starting its 3rd cohort, this new program has hit the ground running with over 900 participants predicted by August 2013.
