Overview
The TMCF SOAR (Seeking, Observing and Achieving Results) Program champions students as they explore and determine their pathway after high school and continuing support through All Things TMCF (TMCF Pre-Scholars). SOAR provides a multi-year approach to preparing students for life beyond their K-12 educational experiences.
During Year 1, high school juniors will be exposed to the vast array of opportunities available following their secondary education through an HBCU on-campus, residential exploratory experience. Students will also engage with their host school throughout their senior year.
In Year 2 following high school graduation, students will engage in enrichment and preparatory training that will prepare them for a successful transition to college and/or the workforce.
The TMCF SOAR Program will be hosted in-person on five HBCU campuses during the summer of 2024. Click the links to apply.
