KeyBank Scholars Program
The KeyBank Scholars Program has been implemented to support Cleveland Metropolitan School District graduates who are enrolled at the university, with the purpose of increasing the students’ retention and on-time completion rates. KeyBank Scholars will have the opportunity to engage early on in their college careers by participating in a six week Summer Enrichment Transition Program (STEP), where they could earn up to 7 college credits, and qualify for a book scholarship. In addition to getting a jump start on earning college credits, the KeyBank Scholars Program participants have early access to a network of students, faculty and staff. Participants receive year round advising and guidance to ensure that they are on track for graduation and have the necessary tools to be successful in the classroom and the workplace.
