Chris Gomez-Schmidt joined us today to talk about Galin Scholars. The mission of Galin Scholars is to increase access to college preparation for high school students with strong academic potential who are from low-to-middle income families and from a broad range of demographic groups underrepresented in college. Galin Scholars selects 4-6 students finishing 10th grade to join their program for the next two years. Program activities include: college counseling, ACT tutoring, academic tutoring, connections to extracurricular opportunities (internships, research, academic programs), financial aid workshop, college visits, transition to college workshop and networking/connections assistance. Students completing this program are attending UW Madison, Northwestern, Marquette, Chicago University and many more colleges.
