TA began in 2000 with a small cohort of students in Madison, WI.

In 2013, ITA developed ITA-Lac du Flambeau and ITA-Oneida to reach and serve more Native American students and students from rural communities.

As we approach 25 years, ITA has enrolled over 700 first-generation, economically disadvantaged and diverse high school students from Lac du Flambeau, Madison, and Oneida.

 

Since the graduating Class of 2024, 549 students have successfully completed ITA.

  • 326 ITA graduates (60%) accepted to UW–Madison.
  • 273 ITA graduates (50%) enrolled at UW–Madison.

Over 96% of ITA graduates have matriculated into post-secondary options.
