Realizing that college preparation must begin early, Program staff assigns all high school scholars in grades 9 through 11 to a volunteer Crosby Scholar grade advisor.

Underclassmen scholars meet in groups with grade advisors throughout the second semester of the school year. Grade Advisors share positive personal, social, and educational experiences with their scholars. They help Crosby Scholars achieve their post-secondary goals by leading discussions on grade appropriate topics focused on preparing for the college admissions process. The topics of discussion build a foundation of knowledge that prepares the scholar for his or her senior year. Grade Advisor meetings are held after school on the high schools’ campuses.

• The grade advisor program was established to offer each underclassman Crosby Scholar the opportunity to meet with a volunteer advisor.
• Grade advisor assignments are based on grade and high school.
• Grade advisor meetings are group meetings and therefore are not rescheduled unless school is closed or after school activities are cancelled by the school.
• Topics discussed at grade advisor meetings prepare scholars for the college admissions process.
• Meetings begin in January and are held monthly through May.
• Meetings are held after school and last approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
• Attendance is taken at each meeting and is recorded in our office.
• To be excused from a meeting, a scholar is to stop by the meeting location immediately after school, on the day of the meeting, to pick up the handouts and to notify the advisor that he/she cannot attend the meeting. If the scholar cannot stop by the meeting location he/she must send an email to our office, prior to the meeting, requesting to be excused from the meeting.
• Meeting dates are posted and announced at the high school in addition to being emailed to scholars.
• Scholars can check the Crosby board and listen to announcements for meeting information.
