<p>SSS does not kick out students for high grades. Many of our students finish cum laude or higher. Many are perenially Deans List. We send grads to med school, law school, etc. Students have to have a need for support, but that need does not have to be poor HS performance. It could be anything from lower than average SATs, challenging home experience, tough major, coming from an historically low performing HS. this part of the requirements is fluid and up to the discretion of the Director.</p>
<p>Not so with the low income/first gen part. Two thirds of eligible students must be both of these, or disabled. the other third can be disabled or one of these. The federal regs leave no wiggle room on this.</p>
<p>On Googling, I see that NY state has an entirely separate program that uses the same name. Perhaps that is what you are refering to. As I indicated, I am refering to a federal program. It is not in every college in any state.</p>
