EMILY K CENTER RECRUITING STUDENTS

There are two application-based, selective academic programs at the Emily K Center:

• Pioneer Scholars (grades 1-8): a free, academic enrichment program serving academically-focused elementary and middle school students in Durham County who aspire to attend college after high school. The goal of the program is to establish a strong foundation of academic and leadership skills so that students enter high school ready to excel in a rigorous college preparatory curriculum that will put them on the path to admission at select colleges and universities. (Director-Nephitearya Bailey Singleton: nbailey@emilyk.org)    
• the Scholars to College program (grades 9-12): a free, competitive college-prep program with one end-goal: to ensure that bright, ambitious students from underrepresented backgrounds are highly prepared for and appropriately matched with selective and/or generous universities, graduating with low or no debt. (Director-Camille Wilson: cwilson@emilyk.org)
