The deadline for application to the program is Aug. 30. Regular registration for Hinds Community College ends on Aug. 16 with fall classes beginning on Aug. 19.

The M2-M program provides leadership training, career counseling, tutoring, mentoring and opportunities for travel to senior level universities for program participants.
