Re: The Los Angeles Prefreshman Engineering
Program (LA PREP) for 7th through 10th grade students,
July 7 through August 21.
Once again, the
Prefreshman Engineering Program will take place on the campus of
LA PREP is a
hands-on, mind-on summer college program for achieving precollege students.
First year students will take two college courses: Introductory
Electronics and Programming Logic. Returning students have a choice of
Biology and Astronomy; or Chemistry with Lab. The Chemistry Option requires
completion of Algebra 1 or equivalent.
The minimum
qualifications for LA PREP are: grade point average of 3.0 or higher and a “B”
or better in math. First year applicants must currently be in 7th
through 10th grade.
If you know of any
students who would benefit from this program, please pass a copy of this
application of to them; or have them contact me at any of the numbers on the
application.
One last thing! This
year we will also be offering cash awards of up to $400 to our top students! So
again, if you can think of any students who are well qualified, please let them
know about this program. Who knows what impact this college experience and a
$400 scholarship may have on a young person’s academic career?
I thank you – and
the students in your life thank you – for your assistance!
