Lead the Way Program

NextGen Scholars for Change empowers aspiring first-generation and low-income college students through mentorship. We recognize the economic barriers marginalized communities encounter and are committed to supporting students as they take the next step toward higher education. Our "Lead the Way Program" connects students with mentors who are first-generation or low-income college students and graduates themselves. This mentorship helps high school students navigate the complex and often overwhelming decisions involved in the college application process, ensuring they feel supported and confident in their journey toward academic success.

Application Process - To Be Announced in Spring 2025
