Thanks to the unveiling of their LaunchPath system the Foundation is taking on a much larger role in the partnership: students apply through the LaunchPath website, Foundation staff confirm that applicants are enrolled at least half-time, and they work closely with both PNF and FRC to facilitate all human resource functions…. I have been very impressed with the 'customer service' I've received from LaunchPath staff. Darla S.
