• We welcome applications from students who do not attend a partner school, but may require students to provide additional background information to evaluate eligibility.

• Students who are eligible for this program should currently be in Form 5; exceptional Form 4 students will also be considered subject to ACO’s assessment review and their school counselors’ and teachers’ recommendations.
