ACT Prep
Your child's first step towards College & Career!
.College admission tests often operate as gatekeepers that deny equal educational opportunities to certain groups of students. In 1991, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. joined forces with the University of Minnesota to offer a free ACT review course for students from historically underrepresented groups, including minority and female students.
The program seeks to give students a better chance at attending the college of their choice and also to prepare them to be successful once there, by providing both opportunities meant to increase college admission test scores and to inform them for entry into higher education. These will include: practice tests, advising on the college and scholarship application processes, interaction with current college students and leaders in the community, financial planning information/strategies and supplementary instruction on content areas, test taking skills, time management and more.
The ACT Review course is committed to the policy that all persons shall have equal access without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, or sexual orientation.
