College
IDEA is committed to ensuring that 100% of our graduating class receives at least one acceptance. Toward that goal, we:
- Help all of our scholars apply to college.
- Provide information about colleges.
- Explain the kinds of financial aid available and how to apply.
- Offer events throughout the academic year that focus on college application and preparation.
- Take scholars on college visits, in person when possible and virtually.
- Bring college staff to the IDEA campus to talk with our scholars and answer scholars' questions. Some colleges and universities that have visited are:
- Fayetteville State University
- Marshall University
- Ohio University
