The NSPA-SPE-CR code list is used to reference college readiness programs that are associated with scholarships.
This list contains an “Other” value.
In the Scholarship Exchange, a college readiness program is a preparatory program that provides middle and/or high school students with academic, financial, and socio-emotional support through programming such as mentorship, tutoring, and college application assistance.
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 is supplemented by the NACAC Directory of College Access & Success and scholarship programs that require participation in specific college readiness programs (ex. Dell Scholars).
