SENECA VALLEY ACES PROGRAM
What is ACES?
A collaboration between Montgomery County Public Schools, Montgomery College and the Universities at Shady Grove (USG) to provide individualized support and interventions that will increase college enrollment and completion, especially among student groups that are underrepresented in higher education.
The ACES student support program provides academic coaches to targeted high school students in eleven Montgomery County Public High Schools, at all three Montgomery College campus locations, and at the Universities at Shady Grove.
The coaches provide both academic and student support using a case management approach. Coaches meet individually with students and provide:
-
Test preparation
-
Tutoring
-
Assistance with college applications and financial aid/scholarship applications
-
College visits
-
Social Awareness/Personal growth workshops
-
Other support services as needed
ACES coaches identify and neutralize barriers to student success that may prevent a student from degree completion.
