The
application for the DU Pioneer
Prep Leadership Institutes for college-focused Black and Latino/a
students is now open! The Institute is a wonderful opportunity for current high
school sophomores and juniors to have a dynamic learning opportunity on the
University of Denver campus. They will be introduced to topics focused on
college access, navigating the college search and application process, career
planning, leadership development and cultural awareness. Attendees will also
gain insight on what it is like to live and attend classes on a private college
campus. We encourage students who are highly motivated and dedicated to making
an impact in their communities to apply to the Pioneer Prep Leadership
Institutes!
