The Knowledge for College (KCG) program is a vital component of ACAD’s vision. With this program, we seek to provide early collegiate social skills training to graduating high school students as they transition into institutions of higher learning.

ACAD will accomplish this goal by inviting high school seniors from public as well as private high schools to a one day seminar, held in the summer, which will enhance their social experience(s) and expectations of life in a university setting. We will provide handouts and hold mock sessions that pertain to modern college-life issues. This will bring students from all races so as to better enhance the experience and knowledge to be gained and shared, respectively. ACAD also hopes to make mentors out of these students so they can teach what they have learned to their siblings, friends and others.

ACAD also provides $250 scholarships to students (as well as those looking to obtain professional degrees). A 500 word essay on discrimination is to be included with each application.

We look forward to helping more students successfully transition into higher education!
