Academic
Bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees — from pre-academic prep to PhD.
The academic track aggregates the higher-education pathway — pre-academic prep programs, undergraduate and graduate degrees, and PhDs. Includes tuition scholarships, living stipends, and academic mentorship. With persistent gaps in the community (~13% of community adults hold an academic degree vs. ~30% in the general population), this track is a critical starting point for community members pursuing academic careers.
