GUARANTEED ADMISSIONS PATHWAY PARTNERSHIP (GAPP)
The Guaranteed Admissions Pathway Partnership (GAPP) is designed to strengthen university-community engagement while increasing admissions opportunities for students of underrepresented or Title I populations. Each year, GAPP partners with schools that are working hard to close achievement gaps while increasing college readiness for students from underrepresented, first-generation and special populations.
