Proposal

**NCGP Proposal**
 * Craven County Schools**

This form must be submitted to and approved by the parent/guardian and CEC’s Graduation Project Committee **before extensive research begins**.

1. What is the subject of your research?

My research is based upon how early colleges and their efficiency to educate students on their years after high school. I will be interviewing teachers on how they have better attendance, and overall grades than traditional high schools. I will also converse with the deans from a couple different early colleges, and compare and contrast the diverse ways of the early colleges.

2. List the topics you hope to learn about in your research of this subject.

Topics I am going to be explaining in this paper will all revolve around how early colleges prepare students for the future, how their attendance and academics are significantly better than traditional high schools, and how students tend to receive better jobs after high school.

3. Have you had any previous experience(s) related to this topic? If so, please describe.

Yes, I myself have been enrolled in the Craven Early College for several years now and have taken multiple college classes and plan on graduating with my associates degree or two-years worth of transferable credit.

4. You will be required to do a product that takes 15 hours to complete. The product needs to relate to the research paper. List all **possible ideas** for fulfilling the requirements. Remember all forms must be completed, submitted, and approved before beginning work on the product.

I plan on creating a brochure and representing it to middle school around the county to promote the Craven Early College. By doing so I hope to reach out to rising freshmen in a desire to increase their interest in the Early College High School system.

5. What resources will you need to complete your product ideas? (Ex: transportation, supplies, computer access, etc.)

Some of the materials I will need to complete my North Carolina Graduation Project product will be: card-stock paper, transportation to and from each middle school.

6. Do you know of someone other than a household family member who can be your mentor? Yes No __X__


 * I am aware that this is my proposed NCGP topic. I understand that before beginning any part of my product I will submit the necessary forms to the NCGP coordinator. I have discussed with my parent/guardian the responsibilities associated with the NCGP. My parents/guardians are aware that this will require work outside the school setting. Also, they are aware that I will be working on a research paper, product, portfolio, and presentation over the course of my high school years.**
