Thank you for attending the SJ Promise luncheon exactly three weeks ago. The first step on the college promise is
SJ Aspires
that is oriented to those who don't consider themselves to be college-bound.
SJ Aspires
is a pilot program that started 6 months ago and, collectively, students have already earned $20,000.
The program is
a free, technology-enabled, customized counseling platform.
SJ Aspires
provides scholarships as students complete online modules that help them prepare for college (module topics include: how to fill out the FAFSA, credit for extracurricular or volunteer activities, and ways to improve your college application).
If you would like to learn more about SJ Aspires, please
