How Can I Become a Part of EAO?

Junior Writing Academy To be considered for the Early Academic Outreach Program, junior high students must have a grade point average of 2.75 or higher while high school students must have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Program participants must be enrolled in Pre-Algebra or a higher math. Priority consideration is given to students who are the first in their family to pursue a college career, and to underrepresented and low income students.
