We believe education has the power to transform.
And not just individuals. With each student that takes an AP class, or scores well on the SAT, or gets into a top-tier university, the bar is raised for everyone. By lifting expectations for the students we serve, the Academic Success Program promotes a college-going culture in communities.
We work with all key players – including students, parents and college admissions officers to gain higher education access for our students, with a focus on those who are first-generation, low-income and/or underrepresented minorities. We work with students to identify the best fit as they continue on their path to higher education – be that an Ivy League school or local college. This holistic approach delivers results.
The Academic Success Program Dallas (ASP Dallas) is a Texas nonprofit* college access program that aims to build a college-going culture in DFW high schools.
