Early College High School Partnership
History: The Early College High School Initiative provides students the opportunity to receive a high school diploma and earn college credits by taking a mixture of high school and college classes. Students have fewer high school classes because some of their college classes replace their high school classes – dual enrollment. This is a Dual Enrollment Program - College courses taught on college campus, that we assign high school credits toward high school graduation requirements About the Richard S. Shineman Foundation The Richard S. Shineman Foundation is a private foundation established by the bequest of Richard S. Shineman who was a tenured professor of chemistry at SUNY Oswego. As a man of many intellectual interests and a deep passion for his community, he made a provision in his will for the establishment of a foundation that will serve the broad needs of Oswego County and Central New York. We seek to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve by working with our not-for-profit partners with integrity, honesty, and compassion, and by pursuing excellence through the highest professional grant making standards.
