The Clark State Foundation and several school districts in Clark and Champaign County proudly partner to support these first-generation, college-bound students! Our Scholars SOAR to success by participating in an immersive, pre-college experience throughout high school. Upon high school graduation and completion of the Scholars Program, each Scholar earns a three-year scholarship to Clark State College.
Our Scholars participate in monthly mentorship sessions focused on test-taking, studying, aptitude tests, personal development skills, and other educational topics. Students work with a dedicated community mentor to build meaningful relationships and prepare them for college success. Scholars visit Clark State College twice a school year to explore current and emerging programs, are eligible to receive tickets to special Clark State College events, have free access to tutoring services, participate in career exploration activities, and attend field trips!
