Taking Applications For Summer 2014 SAT Preparatory Program

A Bridge for Kids is leveling the playing field with it’s new SAT Preparatory Program.  Fill out an application and sign up today!

The Facts: It’s a well know fact that those that are fortunate enough to attend a four year university do much better financially over their lifetime, approximately $1m in lifetime income, than those that have just a high school diploma.  College graduates are also employed more readily, are less likely to switch jobs and in general are happier at their place of employment.

The Problem: As we also know, for better or for worse, SAT scores play a significant role in whether a student gets accepted into the school of their choice and can also have a significant bearing on the level of financial aid granted.  With strong SAT scores a must to attend that “dream university” more and more families are spending $1,000+ to attend a class taught by the top preparatory administrators.   For a low-income family this could be more than a month’s income, all but shutting them and their kids out of this important step in the preparative process.

The Solution:  A Bridge for Kids will offer our qualifying low-income students a chance to take a multi week SAT prep class this summer.  Our goal is to provide all of our teens, who are not offered this opportunity at their existing school, to compete on a more even playing field with their peers.  Our long-term target is to close most if not the entire 300-400 point gap that exists today between the top and bottom income earners.

How to Apply:  We are currently taking applications for our Summer 2014 program which will be offered to rising seniors.  To apply, please go to abridgeforkids.org and click on the Nominate a Teen tab to print out an application.  If you have additional questions about our SAT Prep Pilot Program please email questions to Randi Shanken at rshanken@abridgeforkids.org.

Testimonial

"Bridge for kids not only provided for me financially, but they allowed me to feel like they are looking after me. They constantly look for others that need support and I will forever be grateful for the many resources they have provided not just for me, but for many others. Now, I am one step closer to attending the college of my dreams."
