Parents and Guardians

Throughout the whole program, ICP staff members foster intensive school and family collaboration. Parents or guardians of an ICP 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.
