One of our recent graduates, Carsen Sporleder, was recently spotlighted at the annual NCMC A+ Coordinator meeting so we thought this was the perfect opportunity to not only highlight her achievements but also remind students and parents about the A+ program.

The A+ Scholarship Program provides scholarship funds to eligible graduates of A+ designated high schools who attend a participating public community college or vocational/technical school, or certain private two-year vocational/technical schools.

To be eligible for the A+ Program students must meet the following requirements:

• Be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident.
• Enter into a written agreement with your high school prior to graduation.
• Attend a designated A+ high school for 2 years prior to graduation.
• Graduate from an A+ designated high school with an overall unweighted grade point average of 2.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
• Have at least a 95% attendance record overall for grades 9-12.
• Perform at least 50 hours of unpaid tutoring.
• Maintain a record of good citizenship and avoid the unlawful use of drugs and/or alcohol while in grades 9-12.
• Have achieved a score of proficient or advanced on the Algebra I end-of-course exam or a higher level DESE-approved end-of-course exam in the field of mathematics.

If you need another copy of the A+ participation agreement you can download one here, or email Mrs. Rhodes.

Any student (or parents) in grades 9-12 can contact Mrs. Rhodes at any time to receive a personalized update on their current A+ eligibility status.
