S+R Stars is a program for high-achieving, first-generation students that offers participants a number of targeted resources to support success throughout a student’s educational journey. These supports are meant to help participants reach their full potential as they pursue their degree at Ithaka.
The S+R Stars program provides mentorship, cohort events, financial aid resources, and career planning. Students in the S+R Stars program must:
-attend at least three cohort events per semester
-meet with their mentor once a month
-and complete financial aid courses
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program is in-person only.
PROGRAM SCALE: Small-scale (reaches fewer than 10 percent of its target population)
