Academic Success Program Information

The Academic Success Program (ASP Dallas) is a Texas non-profit college access program that aims to build a college-going culture in DFW and Houston area high schools. We work with all key players -- including students, parents, teachers, counselors, administrators, and college admissions officers to gain higher education access for our students, with a focus on those who are first-generation, low-income, and/or underrepresented minorities. We work individually with students to identify the best fit as they continue on their path to higher education -- be that an Ivy League school, a public state university, or a local community college. This holistic approach delivers results. ASP Dallas is an open-enrollment program currently available at several DallasISD high schools. ASP Dallas also provides comprehensive college counseling services to the International Leadership of Texas schools. ASP Dallas Scholars have been accepted to schools including: Harvard, UPenn, Dartmouth, Columbia, Bates, Babson, Bowdoin, Wellesley, Tulane, SMU, and all of the Texas colleges and universities. Students in the Academic Success Program have also been awarded the prestigious Gates Millennium Scholarship and Dell Scholarship. The Academic Success Program is a member of TACAC, NACAC, and NCAN and is proud to be a partner with the Commit Partnership in improving educational outcomes for students throughout the Dallas area.
