CROP was established in 1983 and funded through the Florida Department of Education. This program is targeted toward financially and academically eligible students in grades 6-12. CROP is designed to motivate students to pursue a post-secondary education, develop basic learning skills, strengthen parents' and students' understanding of the benefits of post secondary education, and foster personal and career development through supplemental instruction. The program primarily utilizes employees of Pinellas County Schools to serve as mentors and advisors to students in 13 middle and high schools. In addition to academic engagement, students are also involved in college tours, career exploration, and cultural and educational field activities. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the Summer Residential Program on the campus of the University of South Florida.

St. Petersburg College serves as the fiscal tracking agent for the Tampa Bay Consortium which includes Hillsborough Community College, Manatee Community College, and the University of South Florida.
