The Adobe Acrobat site also contains information about Acrobat and "PDF" files.
Students in 9th and 10th grades who attend UB target schools, are in good academic standing and are seriously considering attending college may apply to the program if they and their parents or guardians meet federal income and educational guidelines. (Two-thirds of our students must meet both criteria; one-third may meet one or the other but not both.) To be educationally eligibile, the parent(s) with whom the student lives cannot have a degree from a four-year college. The most recent income guidelines are below.
