METS:

• Encourages rigorous academic preparation by supporting school enhancement.
• Promotes education success for middle and high school students.

ELIGIBILITY:

Students must be enrolled in the 6th through 12th grades in the targeted middle or high schools; and students and their families must meet income guidelines.
