This year, Lawrence received 64 applications from Admission Possible, a non-profit organization which helps promising low-income students obtain admission to college. They service 1,200 students in public high schools and charter schools in the Twin Cities area, offering pre-college preparation courses. In 2007, Lawrence became one of the charter consortium colleges for Admission Possible. Four students from the program have decided to attend, two of whom won the Gates Millennium Scholarship. This will be the first group of Admission Possible students to attend Lawrence University.
Another organization Admissions has recently become involved with is the College Horizons program. The organization was founded in 1993 by Dr. Whitney Laughlin, a friend of Dean of Admissions Steve Syverson. College Horizons is a pre-college workshop for Native American, Pacific Islander and Alaskan native students. It provides a five-day 'crash course' in preparing these students for college admission. This summer, Lawrence will be a host school, hosting 86 students and 71 faculty members from around the country from June 27 to July 3.
This year, Lawrence also received four applications from College Horizons. Lawrence's first College Horizons student will be matriculating in the fall.
