FAQs
What grade levels are Legacy Pacesetters?
Legacy Pacesetters are post-secondary students. That means they are current college students or students in a certification program.
When does recruitment happen?
Our recruitment process happens in the fall of each academic year if you are going to a university or college, and our certificate programs are on a rolling basis.
How many students does this program service?
We have capacity to serve 10 students per institution. That means our program has a mix of first years, sophomores, juniors and seniors in our program.
What does the program offer?
We offer students at least two programs each semester, a check in with your site coordinator, professional development and career coaching, tutoring, mentorship, and networking opportunities. All of these events are to support your preparation for the workforce.
Do all students who apply to the program get in?
No. To qualify for our program, students need a minimum of a 2.5/4.0 GPA, complete the application which includes a professor, counselor, or principal recommendation.
Is it true that students can work for the program?
Yes! We hire one site coordinator (an intern position) who happens to be an upper class student. They are usually well-versed in the campus community, resources, and offices of support. They also serve on our Student Advisory Council which informs GRAAHI and our community partners about student experiences on their way to working in the healthcare field.
What if I want my university to be a GRAAHI partner and host this program at my school?
While we want to be everywhere and support all of our students interested in becoming a healthcare professional, we must first be sure our program is a good fit for your school. Send us an email to let us know you want us there, and we will take the next steps to see if a partnership is possible.
