ON-LINE COLLEGE PARTNER
LEVEL UP program at Lackawanna College

By creating a new model that offers students concrete educational pathways during and after their high school experience, the College aims to reduce or eliminate barriers to enrollment in higher education, boost student retention and completion rates, and link early educational pipelines with family-sustaining careers for students of all socioeconomic backgrounds.
