Other The purpose of the Emerging Scholars Program (ES) is to recruit a limited number of rising fourth grade children to participate in a program of academic training and social enrichment with the goal of enrolling them in an independent school for their sixth grade year. Once enrolled, it is anticipated they will continue in the independent school system. The program requires the student to participate in additional schooling beginning the summer prior to their fifth grade year, and ending in the summer prior to their sixth grade year. The successful student will attend 100 full days of instruction during this 14-month period designed to prepare the student for acceptance into an independent school. This commitment is in addition to the regular attendance in the fifth grade at their current school. In addition, ES mentors the family in the application, placement, and financial aid processes for the independent schools chosen for their children. After placement ES continues to engage with the student to provide necessary non-monetary support and counsel as they pursue their education. ES serves the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Children are admitted to the program based on the following criteria: Financial inability of the family to afford independent schooling. The childs academic and leadership potential. Strong and consistent adult support. Recommendations from the childs current teachers and school administrators. Results of interviews and tests conducted by ES. Results of standard tests conducted by professional testers prior to the admissions review and decision. There is no cost to participating families for the ES program. The organization makes no grants or allocations directly to any student, school or other entity. To date all funds have been expended to operate and manage the program, or to raise funds for the program. Emerging Scholars has enrolled sixteen to twenty-six students annually for the last seventeen years. The first class of 16 students began their first summer session in late June 2004. At year-end 2024, approximately 300 students had graduated from ES, with most enrolled in independent schools. On average, 80% of the total tuition cost for these students has been awarded to them as financial aid by the enrolling schools. The twenty-first cohort of students began their first summer session in June 2024. Thirteen members of this class were continuing in the program as of December 2024, and are expected to enroll in independent schools for the term beginning September 2025.
