Phase 1: High School
Eligible Students
Students are selected for the program during their sophomore year based on:
-
- Financial need (eligibility for free or reduced-price school lunches or a federal Pell Grant)
- Interest in pursuing a career in a high-demand career field requiring an associate degree or less
- Attendance at an Avenue Scholars partner high school
High School Career Coaches
At the high school level, each Avenue Scholar is supported by a High School Career Coach, who guides Scholars’ personal and career-related development through intrusive personal support and teaches for-credit courses to Avenue Scholars in partner high schools.
