- Meet the income guidelines of the 21st Century Scholars Program; be accepted as a 21st Century Scholar, and commit to fulfill the Scholar’s Pledge.

- Attend a 1 hour New Scholar Candidate Class (these will be scheduled later this year) to receive your application and information required for admission. This is the only way to obtain a Scholar Application outside of 8th grade school counselors. Seats are limited and assigned on a first-come first-serve basis.
All applications are evaluated by a Board-appointed Admissions Committee that makes all final decisions about who is accepted into our program. This application asks you to examine your educational goals and write about several important matters that tell us about you.
