The program is intended to improve academic performance, high school graduation, postsecondary enrollment, knowledge of college options and financing, and academic, postsecondary, and social-emotional resilience.

The vendor must also host an in-person program launch event on December 10, 2026, in Charleston, West Virginia, for all 300 participants and support the virtual opt-in process. Subsequent tutoring, advising, college and scholarship application assistance, and essay-writing support will be considered. Proposals must include qualifications, personnel and vetting information, relevant experience, work approach, quality assurance, technology, schedule, and at least three higher-education references. Technical and pricing submissions must be separated; the pricing submission must address 5,000 hours of digital mentoring and advising for up to 300 student accounts, include required travel, and provide pricing for additional hours.
