About our College and Career Scholarship Program

SWPREP offers students 6th-12th grade the opportunity to earn $300 in scholarship funds each semester to help them pay for the rising cost of attending College Trade, Tech, or Vocational schools upon high school graduation. Since the scholarship program began in 2012, over $216,000 has been awarded to SWPREP students. SWPREP not only helps students gain knowledge and skills in school through an adaptive learning environment but also strives to motivate and build confidence in each student to pursue their goals in life as well as contribute to better communities.
