Emerging Scholars Program (ESP) is an exciting,
new educational opportunity in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. ESP was established in late 2002 by a consortium of seven independent schools serving the Washington, DC area. This group recognized that there are countless boys and girls in the metropolitan area who exhibit exceptional academic and leadership potential, but who lack the financial means to attend a school where they could fully develop their capabilities. ESP was established to find such students, prepare them to succeed in independent schools, and help them earn admittance to, and scholarship support from, the appropriate school.
ESP has received a $50,000 2 year grant from the Claude Moore Foundation.
The grant will be used to hire professionals to provide individual and small
group instruction and guidance services to current ESP students and
graduates. Click to visit the Claude Moore Foundation website. Read more about this grant in our press release The Claude Moore Foundation grant is a matching opportunity so your donation will double in value! Please click here to make the most of your dollars!

and to continue to be a resource for students, their families and their schools throughout
their academic years.
