In partnership with CAMP and the Rotary Club of Birmingham, twenty-three high-achieving juniors from Birmingham City Schools have been selected through our recommendation and interview process to participate in the Birmingham Merit Scholars Program. This is a college access intensive program where students receive personalized intervention for ACT prep, writing, college applications, FAFSA, and scholarships. Students also develop their leadership and professional skills to maximize their potential, becoming more well-rounded college applicants. Each of our Merit Scholars will also be paired with a mentor from the Birmingham Rotaract Club to help guide each student on their own journey to success.
