The Aspiring Eagles Academy does not end when fall semester classes begin. During their first year at NCCU, participants reside together in Rush Hall and participate in monthly seminars to expand their global awareness. They meet regularly with academic advisors and counselors, and they attend Lyceum programs, student engagement sessions and activities planned by peer mentors.

Deadline to apply: Friday, March 1st.
