Ft. Wayne
Sponsored by IPFW Multicultural Services, Envision A Bright Future (EBF) is an outreach program designed in two parts. One part reaches out and touches students who are in middle or high school. The other part is designed to help adults with a high school diploma or G.E.D. Both programs assist in the planning of a college education and the realization of one's own potential.
This program is designed to prepare the high school student for life after high school. One day per week we will focus on self-awareness and self-expression; decision making and goal setting; the college application process and SAT preparation.
The goal of the Summer Bridge program is to prepare "at—risk" recent high school graduates for admission into degree programs at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. To achieve this, the program seeks to alleviate the financial barriers to students from low socioeconomic backgrounds;
enhance partnerships with area community schools and businesses;
and design academic programs especially for these students.
Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne's Upward Bound Program is to help disadvantaged high school students realize the dream of a college education. Programs and services offered to the students include academic support services such as academic instruction; tutoring; English as a second language (ESL) activities; collaborative learning opportunities; supplemental instruction; development of oral and written communication skills; assessment of academic needs, skills and individual plans to provide appropriate interventions; monitoring of academic progress; preparation for proficiency and entrance exams; academic advising. IPFW's Upward Bound Programming also includes mentoring; career development and activities to assist with college admissions and financial aid; academic and cultural field trips; social activities; activities to encourage appreciation of cultural and ethnic diversity; leadership development; and other activities that promote matriculation into post-secondary schools, and support retention, persistence, and graduation.
The goal of this camp is to provide hands-on learning
experiences that have the potential of getting the participants excited
about math and science. The ultimate hope is that such excitement and
experiences will generate interest and impact of lasting value to lead some
of the campers to learn more about these subjects and to pursue careers in
these areas later on in their lives.
