What are the requirements for admission into the CORE program?

CORE applicants must complete an application form and provide a copy of their most current report cards and standardized test scores. Applicants should maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher with good attendance and community activity to be considered for admission. Letters of recommendation from a teacher are required. Students that may not have a 3.0 are required to interview with their parents and the Direction of Education. Meeting our minimum requirements does not guarantee admission into the program. FAME accepts applications for its summer program no later than the final Friday in April annually.

Is there a fee for the program?

The $500 fee covers one student for an entire year. The fee includes both the summer and school-year program. Households with more than one child pay an additional $250 for each child.
