Mentorship
The Mentorship Program connects Scholars with community leaders who guide, encourage, and inspire them to achieve their full potential. Mentors and mentees are paired based on common interests, experiences, and goals in order to create a lasting and beneficial relationship.
Internships
The internship requirement provides real-world knowledge and on-the-job confidence that cannot be gained in the classroom. Scholars must complete at least one internship of 200+ hours before the start of their senior year.
Peer Support
Through the Peer Support Program, junior and senior Scholars serve as role models and confidants to freshmen and sophomore Scholars. This relationship teaches older Scholars valuable mentorship and leadership skills, while creating a supportive community that helps younger Scholars to successfully adjust to college life.

Financial Support
A four-year renewable, “last dollar” grant is provided based on each Scholar’s financial need. The scholarship is up to $5,000 per year for each Scholar.
