The Young Scholars Program, a selective five-year pre-college scholarship for high-performing middle school students with financial need, is the largest scholarship of its kind in the nation. It provides individualized academic advising, financial support, and a pathway to the foundation’s $55,000 per year College Scholarship. The Cooke Foundation assigns each Young Scholar an on-staff educational adviser who works closely with the student and their family to guide them and oversee the educational opportunities the Cooke Foundation provides throughout high school. The application period is open from February 9, 2023 to May 11, 2023. Go to https://bit.ly/3m7wo7D to learn more about the Cooke Foundation’s Young Scholars program for students currently in grade 7.
