YOUNG EISNER SCHOLARS

YES identifies Scholars entering middle school through extensive interviews, along with teacher recommendations and school transcripts. Once identified, YES works with Scholars by:

• Engaging them for up to three hours a week in small group sessions, led by our team of educators, to develop critical thinking, language and leadership skills.
• Placing them and providing tuition for summer programs at local and internationally acclaimed boarding schools.
• Preparing for the SAT and/or ACT, in a subsidized program administered by the Compass Education Group, a private tutoring company.
• Providing college counseling support and assistance in preparing for college.
• Assisting in identifying and applying for college scholarships.
• Providing supplemental financial aid and support for medical costs.
• Assisting in identifying and securing internships and career placements.
• Affording access to a robust support system, along with their families.
• Encouraging Scholars to lead as examples in their communities.
