Neighborhood Academic Initiative

USC's Neighborhood Academic Initiative (NAI) is a seven-year program designed to prepare students for admission to a college or university.

 Students who remain in the program in good standing from 6th grade until their high school graduation are eligible for a full scholarship to USC, provided they meet admission requirements.

This program is only open to select elementary schools.  Fifth-grade students at Lenicia B. Weemes Elementary School are eligible to apply.  Acceptance to the NAI program is competitive, so not all students who apply will be accepted.
