Princeton University Preparatory Program Opens Doors for Local Students
The Princeton University Preparatory Program (PUPP) was featured in an article in the New Jersey Star-Ledger, June 18, 2008. The article focused on three high school seniors from Trenton who graduated from the PUPP program and are now bound for Princeton University, Villanova University, and Occidental College in the fall.
PUPP bridges the social, cultural, and academic gaps that stand between intellectually gifted high school students from low-income backgrounds and selective institutions of higher education.
