The Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholars Program is a selective five-year, pre-college scholarship open to high-performing 7th grade students with financial need. It provides comprehensive academic and college advising, as well as financial support for high school. There are Cooke-sponsored summer programs, internships, music/art lessons, support for the purchase of hardware and software needs, and other learning enrichment opportunities that are specific to the student. The application will close May 11, 2023.
Northwestern’s Center for Talent Development (CTD) works collaboratively with the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation to educate families and educators about this opportunity and help families through the application process. Tammie Stewart, CTD Outreach Manager for the Young Scholars program, is offering free online workshops for anyone interested in learning more about how to apply.
