Once you meet these requirements, where do you go to be a scholar. Also, this program seriously needs some publicity. I never knew this program existed until being told about from a scholar, and I was told after being in van buren for 1 YEAR. If I had known about it, I would have tried to get in!

Once you get into the program, you are to continue to maintain this requirements. Also, if your grades are good enough your guidance counselor should have informed you that you do qualify for the program.
