Which population does AVID primarily target?

AVID primarily targets underrepresented students in higher education, focusing on those from diverse backgrounds who may face barriers to academic success. The program aims to provide these students with the skills, resources, and support necessary to prepare them for college readiness and access. By emphasizing academic rigor, mentorship, and the development of skills such as critical thinking and time management, AVID helps to bridge the gap for students who might not otherwise have the same opportunities to pursue higher education.

While some of the other options may involve specific educational contexts, they do not align with the fundamental mission of AVID. The program is not specifically aimed at aspiring athletes, high-achieving students, or those in remedial programs, but rather at empowering a broader range of underrepresented students to succeed and navigate the complexities of the educational system. This targeted approach is essential for fostering inclusivity and ensuring that students from all backgrounds can access and thrive in higher education.
