UConn announces initiative to recruit students in Alliance Districts

By Andreas Yilma, Staff Writer
NAUGATUCK — A new University of Connecticut initiative is designed to target and recruit students in the state’s 33 Alliance Districts, including Naugatuck.
UConn President Thomas Katsouleas announced the UConn Alliance Pathway on Feb. 4. The program is aimed at the state’s lowest-performing school districts, known as Alliance Districts.
Under the program, participating Alliance Districts will identify the top 10% of their graduating high school class, or students who are among the top 10% of free or reduced lunch recipients in their high school class.
UConn will then target the identified students for recruitment, and the university will tailor support services to try to increase the academic success of Alliance students who enroll, including mentorship programs, scholarships, career advice and networking.
