Atlas Prep 2nd Annual College Trip

Help five of Atlas Preparatory School's most focused and high-achieving students gain the extended college visitation experience that many American high school students take for granted.  Like last year’s trip, each of these five students maintain stellar GPA's, are highly involved in their school and communities, are actively committed to capitalizing on their potential and enrolling in a top university, and most are determined to be the first in their family to attend college. 

Though their sights vary in terms of where they would like to end up and what they want to study while there (the range includes: Air Force Engineering Officer, Industrial Engineering, Software Development, Computer Programming, and Law), each maintains the academic resume and character necessary for strong consideration at some of our nation's top universities. 

Despite their possessing the qualifications needed for an invitation to this second annual cross-country field trip,  they need financial support to offset the costs associated with our school's week-long, chaperoned East Coast college visitation experience.  Your financial support will match funds already pledged, and will pay for plane tickets,  food expenses, and transportation costs as we traverse the Mid-Atlantic region and visit such schools as New York's, Columbia and NYU, Philadelphia's, Haverford and Villanova Universities, Washington D.C.'s, Georgetown and Howard Universities, and Virginia's, University of Richmond. 

This formative experience will help these young men on their path to achieving their own versions of the American dream.  Please consider helping our cause in whatever monetary amount you are able.
