BATESVILLE — The University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville and the Southside School District entered into a pilot project in November 2006 that required graduating seniors to complete the application process for admittance to the University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville. As part of this process, students were required to submit the following four items: an official application, immunization records, placement scores and high school transcripts.
Since that time, five additional area schools have signed on to participate in PROJECT: College Bound. Seniors from six area high schools (Cave City, Southside, Midland, Concord, Hillcrest and Cedar Ridge) will be on campus for PROJECT: College Bound Kickoff Day on Friday.
Students will be exposed to the campus, receive information on what the college has to offer and complete the application.
