CAMPUS PROGRAM
The College Achievement & Multicultural Program for Unique Students (CAMPUS) is an academic and college preparation initiative which began in the spring of 2002 that currently serves over 600 students in grades 9-12. CAMPUS is a high school college access program designed to remove barriers and/or meet the specific needs of first-generation college-bound students attending Loudoun County Public Schools. (LCPS)
CAMPUS seeks to provide support and encouragement to students who demonstrate the ability to achieve academic success and college admission. Admission to and graduation from college are among the goals of the CAMPUS Program. Students must commit to attending mandatory CAMPUS meetings and/or classes during the school day and CAMPUS activities throughout the year. Parents are also an integral part of CAMPUS and its success, and are welcome to participate in program initiatives throughout the school year.
Students may apply to the program in the spring of their 8th grade year, or if space is available, during the school year of grades 9 - 11. An online application can be obtained through our CAMPUS website. Students must submit a completed online application and one recommendation to be considered for the program.
CAMPUS supports students through:
Academic enrichment and support
Self-advocacy skills development
College and university visits
College and scholarship preparation
Intentional course selection
Community service projects and activities
