The Connecticut Collegiate Awareness & Preparation (ConnCAP) Program is modeled after federally funded - "Upward Bound" Programs.
    
     This early intervention, college preparation program is designed to provide educational support services and cultural and social enrichment experiences for students who have the potential to succeed in college but who are "at risk" for high school graduation and college matriculation due to their socioeconomic status or because they are "first generation for college."
    
     ConnCAP also promotes community and family support and involvement in the educational process of its participants.    

     ConnCAP participants have demonstrated a 20 year high school graduation rate of 99%. The rate of enrollment in post secondary educational institutions for ConnCAP participants exceeds 90%.
