Hello, Scholars and parents!

Another summer has come and gone, and the Scholars Program is hard at work preparing for another year of events just for you!

As a Scholar, we ask that you keep your pledge in order to earn your Twenty-first Century Scholarship. But, it is our pledge to you that we will provide you with quality educational programs and events to help prepare both you and your Scholar for a successful college education.

During the next several months, Twenty-first Century Scholars will be hosting many fun and educational programs and events. We will host several Senior Exit and Junior Prep Meetings in your area to help begin the college admission process.

A Scholar’s representative will visit your high school to conduct interviews with the Scholars. And, we will have parent meetings in each county as well. When it comes to college readiness, there is much to do and learn, so take advantage of the free support services that we offer. Please call toll free at 800 880-5213 or 812 856-1576 for more information.
