The Whitney M. Young Scholars Program is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 academic year. Students who will be entering the 8th or 9th grade in the Fall of 2025 are eligible to apply.
Imagine a future where your student achieves success beyond their dreams – a future with an additional $1.2M in lifetime earnings just from saying yes to a college degree.
Lincoln Foundation has spent over a century empowering under-resourced youth to succeed in education and life. With the Whitney M. Young Leadership Initiative, we have consistently proven that the right support leads to college degrees, fulfilling careers, and breaking cycles of hardship.
Tailored to academically talented, socioeconomically disadvantaged students, our programs provide the foundation for success in college and beyond.
Start the journey here: access applications, manage enrollments, and secure your scholar’s future.
Every contribution creates opportunities for under-resourced students to unlock their potential. Join us in changing lives and communities for the better.
for the Class of 2024
* As only three years of college scholars have received CTEP support, a college graduation rate is not yet available.
Every student deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Our student support starts in the 8th grade to overcome educational disparities, financial barriers, and resource gaps.
