UT Dallas G-Force Program

Program Description

The UT Dallas College G-Force Program serves students from area high schools who receive college mentoring services. UT Dallas students work 20 hours per week at sites during the academic year and assist mentees with researching colleges, completing admissions applications, planing college visits and applying for financial aid and scholarships.
