Marysville Public Schools and SC4 Collaborate to Encourage Post High School Education

Marysville Public Schools and SC4 are working together to eliminate a step to enroll at SC4. High School seniors will automatically be admitted to SC4 without needing to complete a college application. Eliminating the application step for high school graduates streamlines the transition from high school to college including encouraging early access to scholarships, advising, and college services.

Beginning with the high school graduating class of 2024, student data from Marysville Public Schools will be entered into the SC4 data system to permit students to activate an SC4 account and immediately begin enrollment steps for the Fall 2024 college semester.

"This collaborative initiative with SC4 represents a transformative step forward in our commitment to educational accessibility and success for every student. By removing the traditional barriers to college enrollment, we are not only streamlining the transition from high school to higher education but also empowering our students to seize educational opportunities immediately upon graduation. This partnership is a testament to our shared vision of fostering a thriving community through continuous learning and development." Said Dr. Shawn Wightman, Marysville Public Schools Superintendent.

"SC4 appreciates the collaboration of Marysville Public Schools to encourage students to continue education after High School. Both SC4 and Marysville Public Schools realize a collaborative education community is beneficial to residents and makes a positive difference in the community." Said Kirk Kramer, President of SC4.

A letter of introduction and explanation of benefits will be sent to graduates in early May with a follow-up letter on how to activate the SC4 account in the middle of May. Students interested in enrolling at SC4 may contact [email protected].

The program of automatic admission to SC4 is at no cost to students or the school. Students are not required to enroll. The program includes all students graduating from Marysville Public Schools.
