“PUPP was my way of experiencing a world outside of my circumstances and finding a path of growth different from the ones presented to me throughout my life. Over the years, my appreciation for PUPP has only grown as I realized that my time there would help create a foundation for me. It is a foundation for the world I wanted to see where others would have the opportunities I did and it was a foundation I used to grow myself into a person who can contribute to it.

Annual College Tour

Part of the Princeton University Preparatory Program’s (PUPP) dynamic infrastructure is the dedication to college access support and exploration. To encourage students to think of institutions of higher education outside of their immediate physical environment, juniors and seniors are taken on an annual college tour which spans a variety of institutions over five days. This year’s tour included: Lafayette College, Lehigh University, Muhlenberg College, George Washington University, University of Richmond, Duke University, Davidson College, Emory University, Oxford College, Spelman College, and Morehouse College.
