HIGH SCHOOL
The YES High School Program provides comprehensive support to guide
Scholars to and through the college admissions process.
The YES High School program supports students academically,
culturally, and socially during their high school careers and
prepares them to be competitive candidates for college
acceptance. YES staff members work one-on-one with Scholars to
create college readiness plans, and we offer access to academic
tutoring, internships, summer programs, socio-emotional support,
and topical workshops. Scholars and their families are supported
through every step of the college admissions process, from
personal statement seminars to YES-tailored college campus visits
nationwide. We also work closely with families to navigate the
complicated world of college costs, providing individualized
support for the financial aid process and scholarship programs.
YES hosts an annual college application boot camp at
Appalachian State for rising high school seniors to get a head start
on college and financial aid applications.
COLLEGE & CAREER
The YES College Program helps Scholars develop the resumes and skills they
need for post-college success in both life and career.
The YES College Program supports students in finding the
optimal path to personal and professional success through
academic, socio-emotional, financial, and career support. College
financial support includes robust aid to cover tuition gaps,
housing, textbooks, and the hidden costs of college, such as
clothing, dorm supplies, health insurance, and transportation. YES
also helps Scholars access immersive and experiential education
opportunities
like
study-abroad
programs,
professional
internships, and other transformative opportunities often reserved
for
those
from
higher-income
families.
YES
provides
comprehensive career and graduate school preparation to
support Scholars as they navigate the transition to their
professional lives.
