Admissions
Prospective ABC scholars are referred to the Clinton program by the National ABC Office in New York City, which selects candidates, evaluates their strengths, and works with them over an 18-month period to successfully navigate the application process. Prospective ABC scholars who are interested in the Clinton program should make that known to ensure their application is shared with the Clinton ABC Selection Committee.
Typically, once a prospective student is referred to the Clinton program by the ABC National Office, our Selection Committee then contacts students for a telephone or video interview to assess interest. An overnight visit to Clinton usually follows so that prospective students can meet the resident director, get acquainted with the current ABC scholars, participate in a half-day of classes at award-winning Clinton High School, and tour the area. Clinton ABC assumes all expenses for the visit.
