The Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholars Program is a scholarship program designed to provide educational opportunities and support to high-achieving, low-income students in the United States. The program is open to students in grades 8-12 who demonstrate exceptional academic ability, as well as financial need.
The program provides a range of educational support and resources, including academic and college counseling, summer enrichment programs, and funding for extracurricular activities, educational travel, and other learning experiences. Additionally, the program provides financial support for college, including tuition, room and board, and other expenses.
The selection process for the Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholars Program is highly competitive, with only a small number of students accepted each year. The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, which sponsors the Young Scholars Program, aims to help high-achieving, low-income students reach their full potential and achieve their academic and career goals. The program is one of several initiatives offered by the foundation to support the education of talented students from under-resourced communities.
