GUIDANCE COMMUNITY Since 2000 in Baltimore City, 2005 in Prince George’s County, and 2020 in Montgomery County, the guidance community has been invaluable to the success of the Incentive Awards Program. At least one staff member has assisted with our outreach efforts by supporting the recruitment, nomination and selection of IAP scholars. These committed individuals have helped scores of students realize their dreams of a college education and thereby, chart a new life course. We wholeheartedly thank our school partners for their unwavering support of the program and its students.
“The most exciting part of being an IAP liaison is the moment my students learn they have been granted the Incentive Award, and
that they ar e g o i ng to co l l e g e.
i t s i nks i n They recognize
that guidance and nurturing will be available to them—not just money—and they realize they’re going to be okay. Most rewarding, however, is when they graduate from UMD and become productive citizens throughout Baltimore City. One of my former students is now my colleague. I can hardly believe it.”
