91ÁÔÆæ is committed to helping students gain access to quality education and opportunities. In support of this mission, we partner withÌýaccess organizationsÌýand provideÌýscholarshipsÌýfor test preparation and school tuition.
We are excited to introduce our 2020 A Better Chance Scholars! We selected six students for our A Better Chance Scholarship. To be eligible for the scholarship, students had to successfully complete the 91ÁÔÆæ A Better Chance (ABC) 2019 Summer Preparation Course. The 91ÁÔÆæ ABC Prep Course is a rigorous online course that prepares students for the ISEE and SSAT. The 9-week course involves over 60 hours of lessons and requires students to complete daily quizzes and weekly homework assignments.
Of the students who completed our 2019 ABC Prep Course, we selected three students with the greatest overall score improvement and three students with the greatest possible score improvement. The three students with the greatest overall score improvement were Arjun, Gavin, and Olivia, and the three students with the greatest possible score improvement were Cesar, Jacqlene, and Jacques. Recipients were awarded $1,000 towards tuition at their new school.
