We are committed to assisting those in need by participating in a variety of volunteer and community service opportunities.
- Mentorship: One of the key elements to student success is mentorship. Studies show that students demonstrate positive academic outcomes in environments where they are supported and validated. As a Scholars Sin LÃmites student, you will be assigned a mentor to help you throughout your time at ÃÛÌÒAPP. 
- Retention/Completion: According to distinguished sociologist and researcher Vincent Tinto, the decision to drop out of school arises from a combination of students' characteristics and the extent of their academic, environmental and social integration in an institution. The stronger the individual's level of social and academic integration, the greater their subsequent commitment to the institution and to the goal of college graduation. Learn more about .
