Who can apply

- The applicant is part of the first generation in the family that will graduate from college (i.e. parents have not graduated from a four-year accredited university in the United States).
- Nativity Prep serves students from families who qualify as low income according to San Diego County’s assessment of the Area Median Income (60%) and its corresponding definition of low income (60% of the AMI).
"I was introduced not only to the power that education holds, but also to the work, effort, and dedication necessary when trying to obtain a great education."
