ESSEX, N.Y., April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ It s well known that low-income urban students who want to attend college face significant hurdles. But rural students go to college and remain there at even lower rates than their urban counterparts.
A new initiative, the North Country Brilliant Pathways Program, aims to address this underrecognized gap for students at 20 elementary, middle and high schools in rural Vermont and northeastern New York by providing them with a multi-faceted, comprehensive college readiness program.
Former New York governor George Pataki talks at press conference about importance of education of rural students through the North Country Brilliant Pathways program.
Rural students are among the least likely to attend and stay in college, but a new initiative launching in Vermont and northern New York hopes to change that.
Starting this fall, 20 area schools will participate in a three-year program designed to help rural students with college readiness. Students in elementary through high school will develop college and career readiness, be mentored, learn essential skills, work with business and community leaders, and be exposed to college life.
The University of Vermont is participating and will likely host visits to campus, provide college mentors, and allow students to meet faculty and students.
