If there are age restrictions on the ASAP programme they are not mentioned in the article. If you live in New York City and high school sucks you should apply for this programme if you are planning on going to a state college. I would guess you can get in as a 16 year old with a GED. High school sucks for plenty of people.
As an obvious consequence of the above reasoning this programme or something like it will eventually be dominated by middle class applicants. Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis. As I type this article is being forwarded by some Tiger Mom who wants to save on undergrad because their darling is going to grad school anyway.
