We need your help in identifying qualified students from your high school to be considered for this program. We ask that you share this information with rising high school seniors who are of diverse backgrounds and/or first generation. Students should rank in the top 30% of the class. If your school does not rank, use your professional judgment to determine students’ estimated rankings. Students should show a genuine interest in a liberal arts and sciences education, like that provided by the College of Charleston. All students will be required to complete a Senior Project application (no cost to apply), submit a high school transcript, final report card for 2011-12,  test scores if available and an essay on the topic given by our office.
