School Counts! is proud to be part of the partnership between our local school districts and UACCM to help our students with tuition assistance as a School Counts! graduate or an eligible concurrent student. We currently have 111 concurrent students who are getting a jump start on their secondary education. Leading up to our School Counts! Week in April, we will be showcasing a few of the students who are taking advantage of this partnership.
