Aiming High: ACC Students Transition from GED to College- ACC Newsroom

Arzate is not the only, in fact, many students of ACC adult education do not stop at a GED. Among the students awarded a GED in 2009 and 2010, 51 percent are enrolled in credit programs and continuing education in ACC three semesters. The three-year average for GED graduates to enroll in Texas colleges is 20 percent.

"Adult Education Program of the ACC is focused from the start on the GED students to attend college," said David Borden, executive director of adult education. "It starts in the mentality of the program. We teach our students about scholarship opportunities, financial aid, and what it means to be on a college campus.”

Programs offered to ACC GED students include Transitions, in which students build academic skills for higher education, and College for a Day, which gives Adult Education students an opportunity to experience credit classes. The fall 2011 Transitions Program begins September 6; the next College for a Day event is set for November 11.

“Many of the students are first-generation students who have never been on college campus before,” says Patricia Hernandez, supervisor of student transitions and success for Adult Education. “College for a Day includes panel discussions with students who got their GED and went on to college. Those participants become the new students’ mentors.”

GED graduates ready to make the transition to college can get help from the Peierls Foundation Scholarship, available through the ACC Foundation. Silvia Arzate benefited from the scholarship, which covers GED testing fees as well as funds toward tuition, fees, and books for certificate or degree programs.

“I came from the absolute beginning, and I got here step by step,” says Arzate. “My goal was just to learn English. Now I know what it’s like to be student. When I was at ACC I was able to discover that.”

Shari Sims is another recipient of the Peierls Foundation Scholarship. While Sims always valued education, a number of challenges at home – including financial difficulties and her mother’s illness – prevented her from finishing school. The scholarship helped her earn her GED and go on to credit classes, and today Sims is preparing to enroll at UT as a fashion student.

“The hard times just make me value this chance even more and inspire me to continue working hard toward my goal,” Sims notes.

After Sims finishes her bachelor’s degree in Textile and Apparel Design, she wants to get a master’s and eventually a Ph.D. in order to become a professor.
