What is Gateway to College?

Gateway to College is a semester to semester scholarship program that provides a unique alternative education opportunity. Students can earn a high school diploma via Gateway Community College in partnership with New Haven Public Schools with the added benefit of receiving college credits toward an associate’s or technical degree. Students can also work towards their college goals by selecting a “major” from 1 of 50 career-focused pathways/certifications.
