One of the principal distinguishing features of Close Up is its unique outreach to every disadvantaged constituency in America. The Close Up program Is the only one of its kind that focuses efforts on including students who are at the edge. who are at a risk of dropping out. Students who are hearing impaired. visually impaired or orthopedically handicapped. students who are recent immigrants to this country. students whose parents are migrant workers. and. of course. students who are economically disadvantaged. Close Ups success in reaching diverse groups of students has been due largely to the Allen J. Ellender Fellowship Program. named In memory of the late Senator from Louisiana.
