Crosby Scholars Myths Dispelled
This fall , Crosby Scholars begins the third school year serving Iredell County . Almost one hundred and fifty seniors are preparing to graduate as Iredell ’ s first Crosby class , but a few misconceptions about the program might be preventing potential enrollees from joining . The name “ Scholars ” sometimes gives the impression that Crosby Scholars aids only high-achieving students who aspire to top-level universities . However , the program assists all students who want to pursue education beyond high school — whether community college , trade school , or a traditional four year program . Another mistaken belief is that Crosby Scholars just helps first-generation students whose parents didn ’ t attend college . Some Crosby parents have advanced college degrees , and some have no college or high school — all are welcome ! Other parents worry that their child will take a spot that another student needs more than they do . There is no enrollment limit , so everyone who wants to participate may join ! Finally , people may think that a program offering so much must involve a large time commitment . Yet , in each school year ( until a senior ), Crosby Scholars minimum requirements take merely four hours to complete . That ’ s a small investment of time to reap the ultimate free benefit of the program — being the best-prepared college applicant possible , accepted and enrolled at a great higher education program !
