Grades 7-12 is an important time to start talking about what happens after high school with your student.
Granville CSD has many ways to support your student with future planning.
In 8th grade, families can apply for P-TECH, a free program that begins in 9th grade and leads to a FREE two-year college degree in one of two in-demand technology careers: Advanced Manufacturing or Computer Networking and Cybersecurity.
High School
In 9th Grade, families can apply for the FREE TRIO Upward Bound program to mentor your student through high school (be ready to apply early in the 9th grade school year.)
In 11th grade, we have FREE Early College and Career Academy (ECCA) to earn a two-year college degree in a variety of programs while in high school.
BOCES offers FREE 17 professional trade training programs that lead to good paying, in-demand jobs.
We have Syracuse University Advance Project (SUPA) classes to gain college credit while in high school. A huge savings!
Funding Vocational School and College
There are local, state and national grants and scholarships (money you do not have to give back) for all kinds of programs - from the trades, to local workforce, to college. Check out this free 2-year to 5-year college-tuition scholarship for NYS families earning under 125K. Guidance has the latest information about Scholarships, apprenticeships, college and more.
Vermont students who graduate from Granville can also receive in-state SUNY tuition.
It all starts with getting to school on time and being curious about the opportunities available, while you're in school.
Talk to your guidance counselor to discuss how to get started.
