Overview

Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)

Overview: A multi-year grant program designed to help Dixie County High School graduates pursue careers in trade and technical education or Career Technical Education (CTE).

Purpose: Building a framework to assist Dixie County High School students with CTE career orientation, exploration, and opportunities. The framework develops awareness of careers by focusing on certification areas, test-taking skills, orientation visits to colleges and career tech programs.

Target Population: 9th-12th grade students at Dixie County High School

Background: Nearly 93% of the school population is economically disadvantaged and less than 10% of DCHS students seek and complete a college degree. TAP addresses this by providing assistance with career skill sets.

Funding: Originally funded by Blue Wolf with $50,000/year for 4 years (2019-2022), totaling $200,000

Geographic Scope: Dixie County, Florida
