Virginia Tech NSBE Pre-College Initiative
Program Benefits:
As a student of PCI, one is given the opportunity to interact with college students and learn from their experiences as they prepare for the very challenging and upcoming transfer into college. For those students who have not thought about college it gives them the exposure to college and more specifically degrees of engineering, science, math, and other technical career disciplines. PCI helps prepare each student for the sometimes difficult process of filling out college applications, applying for scholarships, taking the SATs, and selecting schools. PCI allows students to tour college campuses, work on science and engineering projects, and helps create a positive attitude towards academic excellence. PCI also provides its members with scholarship opportunities because they understand that finances may be a factor on deciding to attend college. Not only will each student be more aware of what opportunities await them after high school, they will gain friends and mentors who can help them in other areas such as day-to-day life
