Resources and Services
Alpha Scholars Program
Alpha Scholars Program is comprised of two separate but related
programs. One of these, a federally-funded Student Support Services
program (SSS), provides tutoring and counseling services to qualified
students. The second program, Disability Support Services (DSS)
offers assistance with academic accommodations to students with
documented disabilities. Alpha students receive assessment of their
individual learning styles and study habits and assistance in adapting
study strategies to their unique learning characteristics. SSS is limited
to 200 participants per academic year. Qualifications are based on
level of parental education, family taxable income, or disability
documentation. Participation in DSS is limited to students with
documented disabilities that affect the ability to participate fully in
academic opportunities. Disability documentation must be current
(within 3 years) and include assessment data. Both programs provide
service at no additional cost to the students.
