Operation REACH developed College Bound to ensure that low-income high school students are not denied access to higher education solely because of financial obstacles or because of their college entrance exam scores. The main objectives of the program are to:
- Expose students and their families to the college experience,
- Offer individualized tutoring sessions to improve academic performance, and
- Increase ACT scores.
Participants complete an intensive semester of weekly ACT prep workshops and one-on-one tutoring sessions in English, math, science, and reading led by experienced instructors. The program also emphasizes parent involvement by hosting financial aid workshops in which participants and their families learned about the scholarship search process and financial aid requirements.
