Who is eligible: For 9th-12th Grade Students
Formerly known as the National Achievers Society (NAS), the program has been rebranded as KAULed 2 the Future to reflect an expanded focus on preparing scholars for college, careers, and leadership.
KAULed 2 the Future is designed to prepare high school scholars for success beyond graduation by building the academic, social, and leadership skills needed to thrive in college and the 21st-century workforce. Scholars will have opportunities focused on academic achievement, college and career readiness, leadership development, college culture and awareness, and personal and social development.
Students may also have the opportunity to participate in Project Ready Mentor, a 1-on-1 mentorship component that provides individual guidance, encouragement, and support as they prepare for their next steps after high school.
