Admission to the program requires high school completion and a current full and individual psychoeducational evaluation (FIE) that indicates an IQ within 2 standard deviations of the mean of standard scores. 

Applicants must show reading, writing, and math levels at a fourth-grade level or better (using standardized assessment tools), and one recommendation letter from a non-family member who has direct knowledge of the applicant’s academic skills and community citizenship will be required.
