Higher Education Coalition
A GROUNDBREAKING PARTNERSHIP DESIGNED TO OPEN DOORS TO HIGHER EDUCATION FOR FORT WAYNE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS STUDENTS.
FREE DUAL CREDIT COURSES
Students can earn
college credits while
still in high school at no
cost to families, giving
them a head start on
their college degree and
potentially saving
thousands of dollars.
EARLY COLLEGE EXPERIENCES
Dual credit students will receive
student ID cards, access to college
libraries and tutoring services,
campus visits and exposure to
college life through summer
programs and guest speakers.
Teachers will receive professional
development from university
faculty to ensure students get a
true college-level experience.
GUARANTEED ADMISSION
Students graduating with a grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or higher receive direct admission
to all seven coalition schools.
Students with GPAs between 2.0
and 2.5 will be reviewed
considering factors, such as
academic improvement,
leadership activities and
personal circumstances.
The partnership focuses on helping students feel connected to college before they graduate. Coalition schools will work directly with FWCS counselors to guide students and families through the college application process, financial aid opportunities and scholarship options.
