All rising high school seniors (U.S. citizens, permanent residents or DACA/undocumented students attending school in the U.S.) are eligible for the program. We encourage you to consider nominating high-achieving students who are first in their families to attend college, students who come from low-income backgrounds, or students who have experienced opportunity gaps or barriers.
How Do I Nominate My Student?
The nomination process for the fall 2024 programs is now closed. Students do not have to be nominated in order to apply. Students who are not nominated are not at any disadvantage in our review process.
Nominations for the fall 2025 program will open in February 2025.
