We work with university and college partners to offer
the courses at a heavily reduced rate of $250 per
student enrollment (That’s $250 for three college
credits!). Through a generous grant from the Tudor
Foundation, New Jersey scholars will receive complete
tuition scholarships for 4 semesters (or until the
scholarships run out). Beyond the scholarship phase,
Title IV and ESSER funds may be used to support
student enrollments.

SUPPORTS

The Ed Equity Lab’s College-in-High School model
includes three key layers of student support:

1) High School Co-Teachers: Teachers
at your school support scholars by co-teaching the
college course alongside the university professor.
Co-teachers meet with scholars during the school day
and support scholars by reviewing assignment
requirements, discussing challenging concepts,
monitoring student progress and taking action, and
reviewing and providing feedback on student work
before submission.

2) University Teaching Fellows:
Undergraduate or graduate students from the offering
institutions meet with scholars weekly to review
content, build relationships, and discuss college.
University Teaching Fellows do all of the grading for
the course and work closely with High School
Co-Teachers to monitor student progress.

3) The Ed Equity Lab and Our Partners:
The team at the Ed Equity Lab and partners host
monthly professional development sessions for
teachers, communicate student progress to school teams
weekly, provide additional supports to students,
including one-on-one college mentors and distributing
tech all to support scholars!
