In 2003, the Institute launched its Washington Program, an intensive two-summer experience for some of the nation’s best and brightest African American male college students. Building upon the success of that program, the Institute started its Youth Scholar Academy, a summer enrichment and college prep program that prepares high-potential boys to thrive in high school, college, and life.
The Institute selects scholars from all over the United States. Our alumni have been accepted to all of the nation's top law schools and many of the nation's leading graduate programs. Today, they are teachers, ordained ministers, accountants, entrepreneurs, and rising stars at Fortune 500 companies. All of them are engaged in public and community service.
