PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The TKU College Access Program provides a supportive environment for students who learn differently to explore college options and build college readiness skills. This program is designed for students aged 14-21 who are not currently applying to or enrolled in college. Topics to be discussed include: college experience expectations, identity development, social skills, and self-advocacy. Program content will be influenced by needs, interests, and concerns expressed by students.
Please note that because disability and self-advocacy will be openly discussed, applicants should have an awareness of their specific strengths and challenges.
The program will meet select Friday evenings and include one college site visit. Dinner will be served at all sessions. Please see specific program dates below.
There is a small fee for this program to be paid at the time of acceptance. Need-based financial aid is available.
If you have any questions about this application or program, please email
