Welcome Pathfinder Graduates!

For graduates of Pathfinder Regional Vocational Technical High School who wish to continue their postsecondary education with New England Culinary Institute, our two schools are working together to make your educational transition simple. The following are some of the benefits PRVTHS graduates can expect if they would like to pursue an Associate or Bachelor of Arts degree in Culinary Arts, Baking and Pastry Arts, or Food and Beverage Business Management within one year of graduation.

1. Waive the application fee for students applying prior to high school graduation
2. Evaluate students in a timely manner and grant acceptance to qualified students who:
   • Earn a minimum 2.0 GPA (70% C or higher) on their overall transcript
   • Earn a minimum 3.0 GPA in their technical program of study
3. Will provide PRVTHS graduates with general NECI financial aid information and receive consideration for financial aid prior to enrollment at NECI. Financial aid is available to those who meet the appropriate qualifications.
