ARLINGTON, Va., April 28, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- Scholars from Emerging Scholars' Cohort 5 will attend the nation's most prestigious colleges and universities this fall. Emerging Scholars is a non-profit organization that offers academic preparation and financial support to bright, promising students who otherwise would not have the opportunity to reach their true potential.
"We are incredibly proud of our Cohort 5 scholars," says Emerging Scholars Executive Director, Ruth Hazel Little. "Over the past eight years, our students have worked extremely hard, have persevered and defied the odds to brighten their own futures and that of their families. For many of our scholars, they are the first from their family to attend college, so their hard work has completely paid off. We could not be more excited for them as they begin the next chapter in their lives."
Cohort 5 scholars have been accepted into esteemed colleges such as Boston University, Campbell University, Clemson University, Hampton University, Harvard University, High Point University, Howard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Miami University, Morgan State University, North Carolina Central University, Northwestern University, Purdue University, Old Dominion University, Temple University, College of Wooster, University of Mary Washington, University of Maryland College Park, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, University of Missouri, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, University of North Carolina Greensboro, University of North Carolina Pembroke, University of Pennsylvania, University of Rochester, University of Virginia, The College of William and Mary, Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia Tech University, George Mason University and West Virginia University.
