MARC Application

Please consider the following points as you apply:

The MARC program ventures beyond classroom learning and gives students exclusive behind the scenes access to award winning facilities. Sessions will be held at different locations within the 11-county metro Atlanta region. Students are required to attend each session from August through December. Unexcused absences will jeopardize the student’s ability to continue the program.

If participation in this program is contingent upon certain requirements, such as access to transportation or technology, please let us know. We would be happy to discuss accommodations.

We highly recommend that you prepare your answers to these questions in a separate document and save it prior to filling out this application in the event of a possible technical glitch.
