As I write to you, our third cohort is in the midst of the college application process, working with our program’s college admissions counselors to refine essays and applications.

Not only do you leave feeling like you learned so much, but you leave with a huge network of people who care about you, and want you to succeed.” RHONDAYA FISHBURNE Rhondaya is now a sophomore at University of Southern California “It is the best program I have ever attended. Hands down, you are not only with people who are like you, but as driven as you. It’s such an amazing experience.” STEPHANIE CORRALES Stephanie is now a sophomore at Wesleyan University “It is amazing to see how many people can be gathered and are willing to share the ins and outs of the college admission process, as well as have the patience to work with us and answer every single question we have about the next big step in our lives.” DIEGO RAMOS Diego is now a sophomore at University of Southern California The USC Bovard Scholars program is a unique opportunity for high-achieving high school juniors with financial need to experience college life firsthand while becoming immersed in an interactive, rigorous curriculum designed to help them get into the college of their dreams.
