Students are actively involved in the week’s activities which include classroom lectures, field trips, and mentoring from working business professionals.
All ACAP participants receive scholarships covering the total cost of tuition, books, supplies, transportation, and room and board. (In other words everything is FREE for the student/parents) The week culminates with a banquet for sponsors, participants and their parents or guardians.
