PACE- Planning to Achieve Collegiate Excellence
Being an active member of NSCS through ISU qualifies you as a candidate to join the PACE program and influence the academic lives of our youth. PACE is a one on one mentoring program with a cooperating middle school in the Bloomington/ Normal area, Kingsley Jr. High.
Purpose
In the United States, we are facing a rapid decline in the high school graduation rate. If NSCS can enlist help from its 800,000+ members throughout the country, we can make a difference.
That’s why NSCS has created The Planning for Collegiate Excellence (PACE) Program. The program empowers chapters to create local mentoring and tutoring programs to encourage all students to graduate from high school and aspire to attend college.

Three Pace components:
Mentoring/Tutoring Program: NSCS chapters partner with local middle- and high-school age students (traditionally underserved populations) and meet with participants from those schools on a recurring basis to both encourage them to graduate high school
Assemblies: NSCS chapters host assemblies at partnering schools on various topics covering college preparedness, i.e. expectations; financial aid; helpful high school courses; etc.
March to College Day: NSCS chapters host PACE program participants on their campus for a day of activities to give them an example of what a day in the life of a college student can feel
