The Noble Network of Charter Schools announced its Pritzker Access Scholarship (PAS) program has been recognized as an Examples of Excelencia Program to Watch. The program is one of only 36 recognized from across the United States. The Pritzker Access Scholarship aims to remove the financial barriers to college access and persistence for Noble’s undocumented students. These exceptional students have an immigration status which prevents them from obtaining government-sponsored financial aid that is otherwise available to students of similar income demographics. The program provides eligible undocumented students with up to $12,000 in scholarship support per year for four years of college. Examples of Excelencia is a national effort by Excelencia in Education to bring attention to evidence-based practices that work for Latinx students in higher education. The Pritzker Access Scholarship program is one of only 36 recognized programs selected from 166 nominated programs from 32 states, DC and Puerto Rico.
