Program Description

Spanning the six years from 10th grade to the end of college, this thorough guidance strengthens Scholars skills and empowers each to create a blueprint for success. Using a multi-faceted approach that includes mentoring, tutoring, counseling, and family support, we spend more than six years with Scholars, providing the guidance and expertise needed for successful graduation. From the beginning, the CDI program has provided invaluable services like college and financial aid counseling, test preparation, and campus transition support â?? working with Scholars and their families through college graduation.

Success Stories

"Before I became part of the program I had a fairly narrow view of the colleges I would be able to attend. The part that I found most important about the program was the amnner in which CDI made my mother feel [that she was] a part of it all." - Wendy Avelar, Cornell University '11
