Student Application support

Breakthrough supports students from communities who are historically underrepresented in post-secondary education. Our students ascribe to at least two of the following communities: First Generation College Bound, Single Parent Household, Low-Income, Person of Color and English Language Learner.

Students can apply during their 5th and 6th grade school year.

BEFORE you begin your application:

  1. Review the application support guide. This contains a copy of all the questions in the application in multiple languages.

  2. Gather your teacher information. All students will need the name and email of a teacher who will write their recommendation.

  3. Gather your student records. All students will need to upload their most recent report card and test scores

BEGIN your application:

Students and parents should work through the application together. Plan to spend 1 hour on the application.

Application Due Date: March 14

Student/Family Interviews: March 31 - April 11

Decision Letters Sent: April 14

Summer Session: June 30 - Aug 1 (NO PROGRAM July 4)

CONTINUE your application: If you’ve already started your application, you can resume your application in English or Spanish. If you didn’t upload your student records during the application process, you can also submit student records below.
