Overview

The purpose of the NSPA-SPE-CR code list is to define and standardize values we can use to refer unambiguously to college readiness program participation in the context of scholarship eligibility and applications. Values are in U.S. English, and generally align with U.S. usage. However, the code list does not put any restrictions on how sending or receiving systems represent these values to an end-user. The values are simply those used to convey a precise meaning for data exchangeused to reference college readiness programs that are associated with scholarships.

This list contains an “Other” value.

Usage

In the Scholarship Exchange, a college readiness program is a preparatory program that provides middle and/or high school based program that provides students with academic, financial, and socioemotional socio-emotional support through coursework and mentorshipprogramming such as mentorship, tutoring, and college application assistance.

References

As there is not a published standard of college readiness programs that offer scholarships, it is logical for the NSPA Exchange to maintain their own list. This list can be is supplemented by the NACAC Directory of College Access & Success and by scholarship programs that require participation in specific college readiness programs (ex. Dell Scholars).
