Cooke Young Scholars Program

The Cooke Young Scholars Program is a competitive pre-college scholarship for high-achieving students with financial need in 8th to 12th grade. Scholars receive funding for academic and extracurricular activities and are paired with an educational adviser to develop an individualized learning plan. After high school, eligible scholars can apply for the Cooke College Scholarship to attend a four-year college with substantial funding.

Funding for activities and individualized educational advising; potential access to the Cooke College Scholarship after high school (up to $55,000 per year).

Applicants are current 7th graders entering 8th grade in fall 2022, with mostly A grades and unmet financial need; applicants must reside in the United States or a US territory and plan to attend high school in the United States.
