/ Pathways Program at Salve Regina University

Offered in partnership with Rogers High School in Newport, the Pathways program at Salve Regina University is designed to shepherd first-generation students and their families to high school graduation and college enrollment.

Each fall, Salve Regina welcomes a cohort of 15 sophomores from Rogers High School to participate in the three-year program as Horizon Scholars. Students are supported academically and socially to achieve their post-graduation goals, with programming ranging from peer mentoring to college test-preparation courses to financial literacy workshops.

The program offers after-school and out-of-school activities during the school year and includes a summer component held on Salve Regina’s campus. The program also provides crucial resources and education on the college discovery, application and enrollment processes so that students and families become familiar with these often daunting tasks.
