Eligibility Requirements for New MICP Scholars

In order to be eligible to participate in the Meyers Institute for College Preparation, students must meet either of the following criteria:

A. Students must attend targeted DCPS schools in Ward 7 and be potential first-generation college students. (For 2011-2012, the target schools are Kelly Miller Middle School, Ron Brown Middle School, and Sousa Middle School.)

or

B. Students must be a sibling of a current or former MICP Scholar.

The Meyers Institute for College Preparation makes every effort to include as many eligible students as space permits. MICP reserves the right to make final decisions about registration. Priority will be given to:

• students who show potential for improved academic performance;
• students who, along with their families, display a sincere commitment to working with MICP throughout secondary school.

Parents and Guardians
Throughout the whole program, MICP staff members foster intensive school and family collaboration. Parents or guardians of an MICP Scholar may attend monthly meetings where program staff and resource specialists from Georgetown lead discussions about college selection and applying for financial aid. Additional parent components may include stress management, financial literacy, and how to provide a supportive study environment at home. Intense family engagement enables staff to help address non-academic issues that have the potential to become barriers to learning and college access.

Below please find the MICP Prospective Student Interest Form and other program registration forms. If you and/or your scholar are interested in receiving more information about our program, please fill out the Interest Form and email/fax/mail it to us. Once we receive the Prospective Student Interest Form, we will contact the student's family for a further conversation.
