Augustana College and Rivermont Collegiate sign a guaranteed admissions agreement

WVIK News

Students who do well at a local college preparatory school will now have guaranteed admission to Augustana College once they graduate.

Augustana President Andrea Talentino and Rivermont Collegiate Headmaster Max Roach signed the agreement Friday morning.

It says students who complete at least two years in good standing at Rivermont, a college prep school for students two years old through twelfth grade, can qualify for guaranteed admission to Augustana.

Liz Nino is the college's executive director of international enrollment.

"This collaboration represents not only a strengthening of our local education community but also our shared commitment to serving students from across the globe."

Rivermont Collegiate is located in Bettendorf. The private school has international students from Vietnam, Morocco, Jamaica, South Korea, China, Serbia and more.
