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.
Emerging Scholars Program Graduates display their certificates after completing 14 months of rigorous academic and leadership training. Graduates have been accepted into grade six at independent schools this fall where they will receive need-based financial aid. View
Goals:
- To provide an academic and social enrichment program for
a diverse group of high potential fourth grade students who, without financial
assistance, could not consider an independent school education.
- To successfully place these students in independent schools,
and to continue to be a resource for students, their families and their schools throughout
their academic years.
- To develop the leadership potential of able young people
from currently under-represented segments of society.
