College Prep Advisory Course

My students need 20 copies of "The Official SAT Study Guide for the New SAT".

Ms. M. Youth Empowerment School
Oakland, CA Grades 9-12

I teach a group of high school juniors in a program called Advisory at a high-need urban public school. Our high school serves a community of African American and Latino students, most of whom, come from impoverished backgrounds.

My students come from a community facing poverty and violence. The advisory program at our high school aims to keep the students from dropping out and motivates them to attend college after graduation. It does so, through character building activities, and personalized academic skills support. I have been the adviser for this cohort since they were freshmen, and have witnessed them face many challenges and overcome them with courage and resiliency. Several of my students are eligible to attend a four year university upon graduation, and will be first generation college students if they are successful in their goals. Therefore, we are providing an intensive college prep curriculum through the advisory class.

In order to be prepared and competitive college candidates, my students need to take the SATs (Scholastic Aptitude Test) that is a college entrance requirement for many college around the country. My students do not have the privilege of enrolling in expensive private SAT prep programs, and will be studying for it on their own. I am requesting funding for a set of 20 SAT prep books that my students can use to prepare for the SATs. We will begin the preparation in our class and the students will continue it through their summer vacations until they take the SATs.

Your support will make it possible for my students to work toward their dream of attending a college in the future!
