College Awareness Program (CAP)
Heidelberg College, Terra Community College, Fremont City
Schools and the African American College Club/ACE have formed a collaborative
and cooperative partnership to provide greater access and affordability for
minority students seeking higher educational opportunities at Heidelberg College
and Terra Community College.
This project will apply certain recruitment strategies
centered around building working relationships with community and school-based
organizations. CAP holds the belief that cultivating relationships at the
organizational and individual level will help establish mutual understanding and
appreciation for the roles that everyone plays in inspiring minority students to
attain a higher education after high school.
The CAP program involves multiple component parts, including
academic preparation, exposure to college campuses, mentoring and coaching,
social and cultural activities, workshops on admissions and financial aid and a
peer-buddy program.
While the focus is targeting students from the Fremont City
Schools and surrounding areas, CAP will include in its recruitment strategy
visits to TRIO Summer Bridge programs across Ohio. This recruitment initiative
will expand CAP's reach to literally hundreds of under-represented and minority
students throughout the state.
