JUNIORS!!!!!
LEDA (Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America) is an organization that identifies high-achieving, low-income high school juniors with a 3.5+ GPA who are eager to be academically challenged. LEDA Scholars receive SAT preparation and guidance throughout the college application process.
LEDA offers a free summer institute at Princeton and Yale that brings together first-generation college students to develop leadership skills, prepare for the SAT, connect with college professors, and experience life on a college campus. Students leave the program with a lifelong community, valuable resources, and ongoing support. Guidance continues throughout each scholar’s college experience to help them successfully navigate college and graduate.
