Become a Scholar

​When selecting our cohort of scholars, we do not place emphasis on a student's grades or test scores. Instead, we look for scholars who are eager to take advantages of the services we offer and who do not otherwise have access to those resources.

1. Be high school juniors in good academic standing

4. Have a school official (teacher, counselor, coach, etc.) submit an optional letter of recommendation to information@phoenixscholars.org by the application deadline
